They will likely need to adopt new propulsion in the future, but they aren't rushing to embrace that tech on their halo cars today.

Well Porsche have Hybrids and they will have electric cars in the future .
The rest is the issue as the US cars are not sold globally in other markets so then GM and Ford do not have to concern themselves with market regulations out with the US. Sure they might be sold via specialists but the only non-US registered Camaros I have seen in Germany are owned by those that have a Transformers fetish. Look at the differences between the Ford Mustang in Europe against America and how it has been adapted for Europe.
BMW sells M cars across the globe and again identify with the legislation of each market and its requirements without having to deter or cheat their way legislative requirements.
