    How many US cars are driving around Japan? None.

    also false, it’s around 1% iirc but it’s not none. and it’s partly because American cars are too fucking big for small Japanese urban streets

      The average Ford F-1488 (or whatever number they’re up to now) taking up 2.5 lanes of a 1 lane Japanese street, just tearing up walls and houses

      Also, American companies don’t give a shit about foreign regulations or cost competitiveness and the dollar is artificially inflated so it can’t compete lmao. So mostly they export “status” cars like Mustangs, Chargers, Camaros, and Challengers because why the fuck would they do anything but the bare minimum to reap the highest profit (the domestic market)?

      They’re trying to solve a whole heap of contradictions with tariffs alone it’s so stupid.
