I heard neither of *you* can pass a basic competency test. :-)

I have spent a bit of time in Tokyo and the surrounding area, and
there are plenty of American cars there. They are considered status
symbols. Protectionism at its finest.


There are a few; tariff is about 100%. In the Seoul/Inchon megalopolis, you
might see 3 North American built vehicles in a couple weeks, in an area of
about 15 million people. "No wantee zee Americano cars...we keepee our
jobs."

Canadians and the morons in the ghetto to Canada's South aren't that bright.
