I think that moving the parts factories here is a political decision. The core operations are still essentially Japanese and most of the hardcore expertise for Toyota, say, is in Toyota City, Japan. Its not because we Americans are less capable or something - its just a typical industry cluster. Anyway if I had my say, I wish the car industry was less Madison Avenue, and more Silicon Valley. Why aren't car prices decreasing? Why can't I easily swap out parts myself? There needs to be a rethink and it can't occur as long as .gov is propping up the existing edifice.
