why all the lexus models sold in the usa are all toyota models in japan?

the RX is the Harrier, the LS is the Celsior, the GS is the Aristo, the IS is the Altezza, and the ES is the Windom.  Not exactly sure why though...

Well bottom line is the American Big 3 well Big 2 meaning Ford and GM are selling cars & trucks globally and pushing more product then ever. Even though their sales are poor the Japanese Big 3 meaning Toyota, Honda & Nissan along with Korean & European companies are selling more cars.\n\nThe growth of car usage in Asian countries specially China & India is phenomenal. These two nations are consuming more Gasoline specially China because it uses a lot of Gas and Coal. China is hungry for energy and is building infratructure. It is going to be a great challenge to balance  , the country with the power of money is going to win. \nGuess who is winning the power of money not the USA, our National Debt has risen to 8 Trillion dollars. The trade deficit has gone through the roof, we send junk worth 10 Billon Dollars and buy finished goods worth 60 Billion Dollars.

That's a logical fallacy. You're assuming the Japanese companies closed factories in Japan before opening a factory in the US.

My guess would be the automobile industry along with electronic and/or appliances.  Japan had to pay its debt for cost of war and as the loser of war, so US might lead them to do what they (Japanese) do best to pay for the price of war.

S Yard is huge in Japan, they're owned by Seiko.....the only thing is most (if not all) of their drivers are non-conforming...which means you cannot use the driver in any USGA competition.....and of course don't tell your buddies.

If you got one of those cheesy japanese cars (honda, toyota...) not very big - like the size of a pea.  A hearty American car can withstand much more abuse. \n\nCheers!

Only in Japan the Silvia. They cut the line in the 90's i think.

nissian, toyota, ford, gm,..... Actually quite a few. To get around import rules many over seas automakers now have plants here to assemble the parts here thus bypassing the import rules.

Japan is a country - and a very developed one. There are a huge number of schools in Japan, and I seriously doubt you`ll find a map listing all of them. \nI would suggest you choose one area, and then look for the schools.

Thats right! GIT-R-DONE!!!!!!  NASCAR is as american as Granddaddy's moonshine and moms apple pie.  I think Toyota should go **** out of america and NASCAR.  They got Mikey and Dale Jarrett driving for them for the midgets' sake!  They wont even pose as a threat for Jr, Johnson, Gordon, Stewart, Biffle, Edwards, or any other great AMERICAN driver.

If you can find one get a Toyota Hilux/Tacoma. Check out this website and watch the video where they try to destroy it, click the link under the pic of the red truck near the bottom. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/\n\nPretty much anything Toyota is tough, but you also cant lose with Honda, Acura, or Lexus.

NOOOOO!!!!!  lets keep it American. If it ain't broke don't fix it. And it most certianly is not broke. I just hope our fords,chevey, and even dodge dominate over toyota. Cross your fingers.

Well, not two many differences.\n\nSony is the most expensive of course and I think no American would like to buy a Japanese good, not at all!!!!!

First, I am assuming that by "computers", you mean a relatively new (after 2000) home computer... and that by "America", you are referring to the USA.\n\nThat is like asking... "where can I buy a car without any foreign parts?"... you can't!... but seriously, if you want anything that is 100% American made, you pretty much have to build it yourself (from scratch)... even if you were to buy a computer that is "made in the USA", its components, such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, ect... (probably most of them) are almost certainly foreign... so really, they are only assembled in the US (as is sadly the case with most "made in the USA" labeled products)... and even if you were to find one that was truly made in the USA, there's a near certainty that a good portion of its design was done overseas... and even if you were find one that was made, and designed in the USA... you would be hard pressed to find (any) "brand name" software (including the operating system) that was 100% coded in the USA... and (yet another exemption), assuming everything I mentioned above was done in America, you would have great difficulty to find one that wasn't at some point shipped, assembled, sold, or anything else by an illegal alien...\n\nIf someone told me to find such a computer, or be shot, I would probably take the second offer, rather than search my entire life for something that probably doesn't exist.\n\nIf you want ane american made home computer, go to a museum.

I wouldn't even bother buying anything you see that involves Japan. Because everything there is better, for example the Nintendo DS Lite here only play games and get Wi-Fi. In Japan, the DS Lite does everything, its like a mobile laptop. So even if you buy the Japanese version, but those option aren't available to the DS, it is useless. So my suggestion is just for forget about it.

Toyota has a facinating history.\n\nYou can read more about it on their webpage:

Unfortunately that used to be true. And was much of the reason for the foreign cars making such inroads to sales here in the states.\nManufacturing quality has improved a lot since then, but American made cars are still subject to the costs cutters knife. If one product they use is a tenth of a cent cheaper, they use it.\nThey aso sell rather than repair, defective vehicles.\nThey used to return them to the assembly line for refit, or repair..........
