Hummm??? Think you have the car part wrong.
As US car makers go down the tubes, Japanese cars like Subaru and Toyota will fill the gap. At least their 4 wheel drive vehicles get good gas mileage. I'm a lead foot driver of the worse kind, but my 4wd Subaru still gets 23 miles per gallon. It 4wd system gets me around in the worst Maine winters can throw at it. Japan may sell fewer products in the future, but there will always be world wide demand for all high quality things "Made in Nipon".
