I think you have it just the opposite of the fact.

There is no financial incentive for makers of sports cars to go to the 
expense it would take to sell them in the USA, and by implication to our 
Friends to the North, or to squander what is (to them) that most precious 
commodity: showroom floorspace, when what the market wants is trucks.  You 
can put any fancy items you want on your menu but they will still order 
hamburgers.

I think the operational phrase would be critical mass.
