And yet,they have sold more burgers than anyone else. That is an indisputable truth.
"Best" is subject to one's own interpertation, I guess.
Now if these burgers were rotten, bad tasting, or a piece of crap, or maggot infested, they wouldn't be selling by the billions. You gotta understand a simple fact. People don't buy junk.
And they don't buy what they don't want.
That is why McDonalds HAS sold all the burgers that they have.
And that is why GM still sells millions of cars and trucks every year.
And, GM and McDonald's DO have something in common.
They do not RECALL more of their products THAN THEY SELL, unlike a certain Japanese company that some are still trying to call "king of quality."
In trying to make fun of me, you merely justified my point.
Maybe, buy just not naive. There are a million ways a government can impose restrictions on items being imported into their country, making it nearly impossible for the item to be sold in the country, but, it would still, "legal" to sell the item in that country.
And we are both using generalizations regarding the Japanese.
On one hand, you are saying they WILL NOT buy our products, because gas is expensive. Others who have posted here say our cars are too large. Others have said the Japanese simply would not want to buy our product because it is inferior.
My Generalization is based on a little common sense.
Many Japanese people have embraced a Western civilization lifestyle. They like jeans, pop music. McDonalds, and baseball, along with a lot of other things we have to offer. It goes to reason they would also like some of the cars, just like millions of Americans like the cars THEY have to offer. Not real hard to understand. Yet, we buy MILLIONS of their vehciles, and they buy only 12000 of our cars. Something just isn't right here.
And, BTW, not all of Japan is located in Toyko. Some people live out in the country, where they would be able to own and drive a big American vechicle. A lot of people there also have money, so, high gas prices wouldn't necessarly, be an issue. Besides, if that were the case, there would be NO Toyota type vehicles, such as a Camry, Corolla, or one of their pick up truck lines sold there. The Japanese simply would not be able to afford to drive them. Those vechicles get, on average WORSE gas mileage than comperable American vehicles. It goes without saying that if, in a TRUE free trade system, a Chevy Malibu, which is of higher quality and gets better gas mileage, would sell in Japan if a Camry sells there. Or, are you saying they don't sell Camry's there?
I don't think you've listened to anyone, certainly not me as I told you to Google for "Driving in Japan" to see the restrictions, which you obviously haven't. If there were the protectionism that imagine, how do you think (I know you don't, but that's a separate point) 12000 cars a year get in?
quite apart from your apparent inability to use a "spel chekr", you need to get some brains and figure out what you're dealing with when you post on an unmoderated forum.
wow, either amazing stupidity or clinical delusion. does the nurse let you play on the interweb very often junior? because s/he probably should be protecting you from too much reality if you can't cope with it.
Next you will say that AOL is a good internet provider because millions of people subscribe to it.
Guess what, AOL does suck, just like McDonalds and GM.
I have not purchased more than a cup of coffee from McDonalds in over 20 years because their hamburgers are nasty garbage, and there are much better hamburger joints all over town. There are also much better cars available than what GM produces.
People who make smart choices tend to avoid AOL, GM and McDonalds. Yes, stupid like you do buy junk.
That is why businesses that produce shitty products and services, like McDonalds, AOL and GM continue to exist. Well, that and the bailout for Government Motors.
Higher quality Malibu over a Camry? Wow, that is truly delusional. You must actually believe those sad GM commercials.
The reason that right-hand drive Malibus are not being produced for the Japanese market is that the Japanese people would not buy that POS vehicle, at least not in any quantity, and the decision-makers at GM know this.
The British car manufacturers, went into liquidation because of poor designs that turned out inferior product. The unions didn't like it, but people voted with their pockets and now they're gone. We still make cars but under other names with their designs. Yes it was hard on the thousands that lost their jobs, but now they're more secure with world class designs owned by the likes of Toyota, Nissan, Honda, BMW, etc..
As, of today, in case anyone is counting, the number is 34, and growing almost daily.
I don't take satisfaction in posting this, as I don't want to appear to be gloating over the deaths of humans.
However, the number of deaths, along with the number of accidents due to stuck accelerators on Toyotas apperar to have been kept hidden for several years.
To the previous poster, not Ed, is the Japanese govt so powerful it can restrict "the number of US cars allowed to be sold in the US"? Wow, I had no idea.
