Right now, base versions of some compacts come without it, but I can't think of a late-model American mid-size sedan like the one above that doesn't have it ABS. I believe the car in the video is a Malibu.

Next year, federal law will require all cars and light trucks to come with standard electronic stability control, which relies on an antilock braking system to apply the brakes at individual wheels to prevent skids. So all vehicles will be required to have ABS in 2012. So even an idiot in a Kia Rio won't have an excuse.
