Unfortunately, those Japanese manufacturers are located here because of the American market, because even though there's a healthy domestic market... 80% of what they produce is exported to the US through NAFTA, etc. And they're also here because of the auto-parts supply chain that moves freely back and forth across the border.

The markets are heavily intertwined and have been for decades. E.g. Ford Canada is just as old as Ford in the US.
