Granted, you would expect the home market of the Big 3 to be primarily Big 3, especially with the easy availability of employee discounts. And even then, I think most people in Michigan aren't the types who will buy a foreign car just because they think its better.

I just bought a new(er) car and I was wanting a Subaru. Well, between the cost and the things I've heard from friends who own them, I ended up going with a Ford Fusion. And I swore that I would never buy an American car. Consumer reports told me it was a good buy!
