While automotive analogies often do not hold up with cameras, in terms
of the potential of Japanese manufacturing techniques, it is
interesting to look at JD Powers automotive quality results.  Lexus
(167 problems per 100 cars) beat the pants off the Germans (Benz's 278
and BMW's 319).  There is more to a product than sheer quality, but
this illustrates that it is unreasonable to descriminate against a
product solely because of where it is manufactured.

Does JD Powers also do SOUL tests? The Lexus may beat the LOWER 2 models of
the competing German firms in "problems per car" but driving one is equivalent
to listening to an Al Gore speech. "Oho what a feeling" indeed...
