It wasn't the sole reason, but it contributed to it.

What our governments failed to understand was that in order to have a car industry, you have to support it, every other country with a car industry does.
All of those years of break even or loss meant that all the money spent through local manufacturing mostly stayed here even without companies recording profits
So now instead of keeping $3 billion-$4 bilion per year of business activity here,
we let the whole $30 billion / year go out of the country and build up the wealth of others.
But hey, pee got their cheap cars once the locals were killed off.... not.
