"For the first time, U.S. consumers are buying more cars and trucks built by foreign automakers than vehicles made by Detroit's traditional Big Three."

I can image the psychological impact is enormous.

the biggest psychological impact for me is that this didn't happen years ago. I am actually suprised this didn't happen at least 15 years ago? How long has it been since the Americans actually built competitve cars with foreign automakers? I would say a good 30 years.  

This will continue every year from now on. Good bye domestic cars.  

Its not suprising to hear this.  The big three dropped the ball with the rising gas prices.  I just wonder if they will ever catch up?
