You're absolutely right, and lordy, do we have short memories. I remember the smugness the Big 3 had when Japanese cars first appeared in the U.S. in the 60's/70's. Rice-burners they were called, and nobody is going to buy them. Well, we all know what happened there. Ditto with the Koreans in the 80's. And now the Chinese are threatening to take over the automotive world and, again, that same smugness has reared its ignorant head. Will we ever learn? At least Farley has enough guts to say the Chinese can build a pretty good car. Only the uninformed can argue with this.
