To understand how the Japanese have taken over the car industry starting in the late 60's you need not look any farther than what the Korean cars have done in the last 10 years. 10 years ago any car made in Korea was very cheap and junky, same as the Japanese were in the early 70's. but people bought them by the bucketloads only because they were cheap( their labor costs plus dumping cars over here cheaper than they could be bought in Japan didn't hurt them any). As the companies made more money be selling cheap cars they learned to improve them. Same as the Japanese cars did in the 80's, now Kia and Hyundai are quality cars and they are building them over here.
In fact the Japanese did the same thing with electronics and toys eventually running all the American companies out of business, then the Koreans just about ran the Japanese electronics companies out and now the Chinese are doing it to the Koreans.
