I can see that if GM was just going about normal business, pushing suv's and trucks and forgetting about being part of the problem, making subpar cars, etc etc.

The Japanese companies ARE American companies now. They build their cars here and took on a position of strengthening themselves from with in when they ran into trouble. If you look at supply lines, more "American" car models pay import tariffs than the "Foreign" brands do.
They are saving themselves money on all of the protective tariffs that the government has had in place since the 60's to try to keep them out.
American union labor is what needs the attitude check, but no one with the power to influence change has the balls to stand up to them.
