As you guys know already, I have no problems with the thought of buying a foreign car, or any car, if it's a car I desire. The problem I have is the manipulation of the profits Japan Inc. does, plus the fact that they set limitations on what domestics can import into their lands while they can sell whatever they want over here. The government has a lot ot be blamed about too, what with their total obliviousness to soaring health care costs, and their refusal to level the playing field as far as trade goes. Just you watch: if our trade regulations were as strict as Japan's, there'd be a lot less Toyotas on the street. Of course if Japan and these other markets had open trade like we do then I wouldn't have a problem either. And to to top it off, our incompetent government, led by a man who can't speak or spell, and backed up by a man who mistakes people for small birds, doesn't give a $h!. They have yet to work on health care issues or trade issues or anything that actually matters. All they care about is oil and blowing $h! up in the middle east under the guise of "anti-terrorism".
