Trump always rails about Europe not buying American cars. What American cars? All I see is Pick-up trucks (which are extremely niche in Europe, mostly used by hunters or foresters) and huge SUVs (too big for Europe), but not really any cars anymore. Are they still producing any actual cars or have they all switched to SUVs now?

To my fellow Americans, a Truck or SUV is a car. I drive a 20-year-old Toyota Corolla because it runs great and is cheap to insure. Meanwhile, people tell me all the time that "the average car payment according to AAA is $600." And then every goddamn time, I have to point out that AAA is using F150's and SUVs in their "car payment" average. They are also using payments of people who sold their old vehicle before paying it off. So many people in the USA are paying for both their new car and their old car that they sold. 

So many people want to bitch about the price of videogames or some other tech, yet they light money on fire all the time.

I get that, but what other vehicles for personal use are the US producing that aren't trucks or SUVs? That was my main question.
