It won’t work. They are fighting the riceburner-lover religion. Jap car owners are convinced those things are superior and nothing could pull them from their religion. Oh no. I have blasphemed again.
Why besmirch all Japanese car owners as being blind. I could make the same argument for your point of view:
GM-Ford-Chrysler car owners are so blindly loyal that they would buy a car where most of it is not made in the US, the quality level is sub par compared to Japanese models, and after purchase service ranks near the bottom. They love wasting their money due to their blind faith.
My point is some people make a choice in a vehicle that might not agree with yours. In my case, I bought an American car - a 2004 Toyota Sequoia - Made in the US.
