and older folks who served or had their parent(s) serve at Pearl Harbor, Leyte Gulf, Okinawa,......could not warm up to them.
One more way you are an idiot.....I guess that old Japanese thing really screwed Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda and Suzuki, right.
Good number of cars from those makers are assembled in USA. We still see lot of Fords, Buicks, Chevrolet cars which carry American name but are assembled here from components made abroad.
OMG, Quite showing how dumb you are!!
Those Japanese companies have assembly plants in the US because their sales successes with Japanese made cars A) tipped the balance of trade in favour of the Japanese, resulting in a rise in the value of the YEN against the USD, making their cars cheaper to build in the US than in Japan for the US market because of currency rates, and B) because of the threat of additional tariffs and duties combined with incentives from individual states to bring jobs.
These are the RESULTS OF SALES SUCCESS, not the cause. The cause is they made great cars, out competed the US Big Three and stole giant portions of market share.
But yeah, no one wanted to buy Japanese stuff because of, you know, Pearl Harbour.
Idiot!
