I would like domestic manufacturers to do so but for whatever reasons they can't or won't. Even if they could build such a car there is no guarantee Americans will be willing to pay "a good price" for them. Say Ford can build a car equal to a Civic in every way and sell it for the same price as a Civic. Honda still has a much better reputation among consumers than Ford and is more likely to get the majority of those dollars.
ETA: I just saw you used the Civic in your most recent reply. They are the standard and Ford would have to do better for the same price or less to have a hope at winning the consumer's dollars. I don't know if that is possible, and even if it is I don't know if Ford (or any of the "domestics") is capable.
