How have you worked on your cars? North American cars have used a mixture of inch and metric threads for a long time, on the same car you can find metric and inch threaded screws and bolts. My toolbox has had tools for both systems in it for years, so metric is not new to North America.
The use of metric bolts is more and more prevalent, globalization is the reason for this trend.
