Who Killed the American Car?
I suppose this should be the point where my inner Monty Python fan notes that it's not quite dead. However, given the inroads made by foreign car manufacturers in the last half-century, one can't but wonder if the demise of the American car is likely to happen in the near-future.
In any event, the announcement Toyota made a few weeks ago about its goal to become the world's largest car manufacturer in 2007 makes me a tad worried. What makes me even more worried is the fact that no one in the press is ridiculing such a goal.
Oh, well. If the torch is indeed passing from GM to Toyota, does that mean we'll be seeing an influx of Japanese electric cars? Or will Japanese car manufacturers show the same disinterest in such technology that American car manufacturers display?
