Because the US car makers make as many cars as possible, put them on dealers lots, and then at the end of the year, they have to slash prices (which kills resale value). Honda and Toyota only make a car once you buy it. They limit the supply of cars into the market to keep their value high.
I'm not sure about the parts, but if there is a GM part and a 3rd party part maker competing in price against each other, but you only have one source to get the foreign car part, it will cost more because they know you will pay it.
