I think the problem is, a) they may be more expensive than equivalent american saloons or estates and b) not entirely suited Joe Public's needs. The orginal Mondeo (Contour), and it was a good car, already failed and the Astra doesn't seem to be doing much better. 
Unfortunately our small world doesn't reflect entirely what's out there...
