Actually, no they don't. Major metropolitans, Town Cars are service livery vehicles.
European and Japanese makers only came into the market AFTER it was solidified as a market and slowly diversified into it. Not that there is was originally only 1 BMW, Volvo, Porsche, Audi, VW, SAAB on the Euro front, and the Japanese front had mulitples rather quickly, but some of them still only have 1 to compete against ALL SUV segments.
Again, my point is that instead of competing with the market directly the American manufacturers played lobby this and exemption that.
