    The world’s car makers struggled to compete with Japan back in the '70s, but I would argue that struggle gave people access to better vehicles.

    Turned out the winning move was to make affordable cars that were fuel efficient to operate and people would rush to buy them.

      Japan even failed to learn from Japan judging by everything I see here. Not necessarily as badly as the US mfgs did, but still. Especially for those chasing hydrogen right now and Nissan going through its thing (and I drive a Nissan kei car).
