Europeans Raise Pressure on Detroit - WSJ.com: "Struggling Big Three auto makers, accustomed to intense competition from their Japanese rivals, face a new challenge from European auto makers.

Sensing opportunity in Detroit's weakness, Volkswagen AG and BMW AG of Germany are gearing up to expand market share in the U.S. in the next few years.
