I could argue statistics, but what matters if we're talking about why people think it's a conspiracy is the perception. I was there, and that was the perception. I'm also not sure why Japan having what consumers wanted and the US car makers not having it doesn't count as "besting". GM's market share dropped faster after 1980, but it had already dropped 10% between 1964 and the early 70's. That's not nothing.
