America does not manufacture autos in these countries.
My last four Hondas were manufactured in the US of A by American labor.
There have been many articles written on the crazy restrictions placed on US cars in Japan. Even the ones like the foreign version of the Ford Focus, made for the small streets of the EU. One that I’ve heard is that they won’t let cars be purchased that don’t have a dealership system to support the consumer when the car needs service or repair. Then they don’t permit dealerships unless there are X number of cars sold. Catch 22.
