well put but I just read somethig in one of Bob Lutz books taht was a good point. when you said "japan met the challenge". they did not have to meet any challenge to get better mileage etc. as they had always been producing small death traps with small engines because they had very expensive fuel with huge taxes on fuel and large import cars. all they needed to do was open up dealers when our fuel costs went up. Where as we had to retool everything.
