A whole lot of revisionist history regarding Japanese autos in America. What actually happened is Toyota, Honda, Datsun all imported pieces of junk that Americans laughed and joked about for years. Then we had the Arab oil embargo, fuel shortages, gas lines and a huge rush for anything small. The American auto industry stuck their heads into the sand, ostrich style, and continued to make only land Yachts and small vehicles that somehow were even worse than the Japanese (Chevy Citation or Vega anyone?) That gave the Japanese auto industry their foothold, quality came much later.
