Yes, and the reason why was when Honda and Datsun first invaded our shores, they came off the docks by the boatload - and they weren't made in America. In other words, if you bought a jap car you were indeed taking something away from the American worker.
When this first happened, the jap cars were cheaper - and better.
I drive Fords. In the past five years I've had five new cars, three of them Mustangs. Not once have any of these five new cars been in for anything other then routine service.
No matter what you will never get me to drive a Honda Civic. I just can't drive a car that every Suzie Homemaker drives on her commute.
