Toyota builds in the U.S. but their factories aren't unionized, as they should be. While that saves them money, the quality of their cars is so much better, they can still charge more than U.S. manufacturers and beat them. If U.S. manufacturers competed on quality, they'd do just as well, even if that meant they had to charge more than Toyota and the others. I feel like they've fallen so far behind through many, many poor choices, they can't catch up. But, instead of blaming themselves, they blame unions.
My dad bought his first Honda Civic in 1972 as a commuter car for his 45-minute commute into San Francisco. After that, Honda Civic was the only car he bought. He didn't care that they got more expensive over the years, he cared that he didn't need to take it to the shop every year.
