Gee, I can't imagine why that would be.

"Frankly, it's time (for Japan) to get off the 'We're going to export everything we make to somebody else'." Lotsa luck on that, Rick. Yes, Japan has historically done lots of things to give themselves what many claim is an unfair advantage. But you know what? There are other reasons why a lot of Japanese as well as other foreign cars sell so well - they're not pieces of shit. I'd have a lot more sympathy for American manufacturers when they cry foul if they could actually put out decent products.
