[quote svelte]What a coincidence…an insert *precisely* where IIHS conducts the test…

You don’t suppose they were trying to rig the results, do you? An honorable car company wouldn’t do that![/quote]What percentage of that same japanese company is owned by a US company? [/quote]

Toyota is owned by a US company? Do tell! 🙂

You are also pointing at one specific incident, I have shown systemic issues.

Lol…you sited no evidence just stated a generalization then claim you showed a systemic issue? Wow!

As for NGK; there may be other details like strong-arming through patents and access to OEM level sourcing to force a group to act as a ‘cartel’ supplying spark plugs. It was not only NGK that was involved.

So Johnny did it too so it’s okay?

Most of the items you listed does not even get close to the level of the issues with Chinese supplied goods.

Dude. You were saying Japanese business was based on honor. I was saying that is a falsehood. I said nothing about the Chinese so why drag them back in! Focus!

You’ve claimed a generalization was better proof than the specific examples I offered, deflected by saying if Johnny did it too it is okay, and now said yeah but China is worse! Too much.

You would have been better off to admit that falsifying financials for years, breaking US law on US soil by price fixing, and attempting to artificially raise bumper test results were all bad moves.
