The completely closed Jap market improved faster than our completely open market, how’s that possible? By your logic the Japs should have built the worst cars in the world. It seems domestic competition in Japan by itself was sufficient impetus to produce a better car which disproves your BS theory.
You may think that higher prices and less choice makes their market better than ours, but that's just more proof of your confusion.
By your logic the Japs should have built the worst cars in the world.
They were competing to sell cars in the US market. The US automakers didn't think they had to compete.
The worst cars in the world were probably built in Communist nations with no competition.
