Detroit aims to sustain high profit margins as the U.S. becomes the key profit center for global automakers. High demand for large pickups and SUVs, along with record-high prices averaging $50,000, drives this trend. Meanwhile, markets like China and Europe face sales declines and overcapacity issues.
