History repeating itself... when the market turns away from the big trucks, guess who’ll fill the void... again

Yeah, WHY NOT, as they actually get PAID to open theses transplants by the state/local governments, ON TOP OF sometimes paying ZERO taxes, get ALL of the positive PR for employing 'MURRICANZ, MUCH lower shipping costs than from Japan, with NO even chance of any tariffs, AND do not have to worry about union wages or ANY 'legacy' costs whatsoever!

It's a NO LOSE in ANY way, shape, or form proposition for the Nippon Giant juggernaut.

Even IF there was a market there, and the Japanese people were willing to buy the product, let a U.S. manufacturer try THAT in everyone's 'sacred' Land Of the Rising Sun and see what happens!

I agree. Its smart business practice. Always capitalize on your competition mistakes.
