Merritt: When I'm talking about lower priced imports benefiting the U.S. consumer I'm not including dumping... Dumping hurts us... But normal imports to the U.S. are good... If we close our doors they close theirs... During the early eighties when the dollar rose against the other currencies U.S. auto makers had a big chance to maintain market share by lowering the price of its cars... Instead it raised prices... This made our cars less price competitive than the imports... The Europeans and Japanese increased their share of the U.S. market at that time... To top it off, the imports were perceived as better quality cars... After a decade of taking our lumps we became lean and mean and more competitive... That never would have happened if we didn't have the competitive threat of cheaper and higher quality cars from Europe and Japan... In the end, the American consumer now has better made American cars... Jim
