Il WSJ: medita su di una semplice verita' : il mercato americano dell'auto e' in ottima salute e gli USA continuano ad essere un grosso produttore. La differenza con gli anni passati e', come per gli anni '80 in Gran Bretagna, che le societa' che le costruiscono non sono americane.
"Mr. Bredesen, whose state will shed some GM jobs even as Japanese companies move in, was simply working to get the most out of an accelerating trend. The business of building cars in the U.S. has seldom been better. It just isn't being done as much as before by American companies.

Yet foreign manufacturers' inroads reflect more the advantages than the disadvantages of the U.S. economy's openness in a globalizing world. Despite charges from U.S. car makers that the foreign companies have displaced their jobs and sales, the deepening foreign involvement more likely has saved America's largest industry from going the way of textiles, where imports have taken over the market."
Mr. Cuneo[Il numero 2 di Toyota U.S.] says the danger to U.S. car-making isn't posed by Toyota but ultimately by insufficient training and education. What worries him is that America isn't graduating enough engineers or preparing enough skilled tradesmen"
