A MYTH It CANNOT DIE
It is accurate to say that GM and Ford offer so little in Japan; GM sold less than 200 models in the fiscal year that ended last month. The idea that unfair business practices are to blame is not only false, but it is also one of those enduring tales that won’t pass away.
Before Trump, Japan previously levied less than the US’s 2.5 % car import price.
How much less? In reality, nothing has been done by Tokyo since 1978, including auto import taxes. In the past, the land   had , barriers to clear , but those haven’t existed for years.
Years of lawmakers are left scratching their heads over US grievances about market access, but other obstacles have been overcome in the past. In fact, the reason for their complaint is things much simpler: The automobiles aren’t good enough.  ,
American manufacturers have just failed to produce cars that attractiveness to regional tastes. Japanese drivers desire small, energy-efficient vehicles that strike a balance between exceptional safety and dependability and excellent value.
Forget about US companies and exports; it’s difficult for the majority of local companies to meet these demands. Toyota is responsible for one in two of the nation’s sales of automobiles.  ,
Additionally, Kei cars, which are ultra-light vehicles with smaller engines, are taxed at a lower level, account for a third of sales. No US manufacturer, yet builders, makes it, and it belongs to a group. However, the most well-known National vehicles are simply too big for Chinese parking lots and roads.
Some Ford F-150 models, which have long been the nation’s most popular vehicle, are so ridiculously large that they are unattainable on a normal driver’s license.  ,  ,
