The Mitsubi**** automotive division in Tokyo must be in a panic. Globally
they have lost to Korea and now even those dullards can see the Chinese
writing on the walls of their 3rd world markets.
They started out making low quality cars for the depressed post-war
Japanese market. That is where they have to return.
Mitsubi**** should go back to their roots and create a cheap car for the
emergent nations, a car that even a common street beggar could aspire to
with a few months of saving and hard work.
They should leave the global western markets to the Japanese, the
Europeans, the Koreans, Chinese and Indians.
It is not as though the failure of their automotive enterprise would hurt
them too much. They make huge money in minerals and resources.
