One thought i had was that *IF* Ford was to bring out a range of smaller cars in the USA based on or the same as the European models it might lead to that section of the market opening.

Once people identify with that section of the market for the cars, soon enough brands like Seat, Peugeot, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, VW will begin to offer smaller cars in the USA market. This could be bad for Ford as it could cut down there market share. If public opinion and there for production switch mainly to smaller cars this could lead to a decline in the size of Ford.

It would be a big risk to take to create that market sector, and not one im sure they would win.
