Well Darfot, there is a book for everything. But here's the thing, your original post implied the standard line of thinking today is that a consumer such as myself would most likely prefer japanese over american models. I'm saying that hasn't been true for years. In 1985 did consumers prefer japanese- absolutely! Now? Its all a model by model basis. From your own post, In the 1990s, Detroit’s Big Three automobile companies were riding high. Yes they were riding high. , in an ironic twist, soon stormed in with their own sophisticatedly engineered and marketed SUVs, pickups and minivans. In other words japan copied US ingenuity again. Wake me up when Japan invents a new model that really excites the consumer the way the honda prelude did in the early 80s. Yes it could happen, it has before, but it is rare.
