I didn't mean to get into it all, but the Japanese believe the failure of American industry is management, not labor. Every Japanese plant in the U.S. finds the American worker thriving under Japanese management, and in many cases outperforming their Japanese counterparts. And you tell me one industry in which one nations products maintain such a high degree of excellence.

  So, all the American made Toyotas are crap? Uhhuh. Tell that to the   guys at the NUMI plant in Fremont, CA.   

  Oh.. wait... all the Japanese companies are great? Then why is   Mitsubishi nearly bankrupt, and DC has run screaming from Mitsu?   Great cars my ass.
