And US carmakers are wondering why their cars don’t sell in Japan

I mean first of all, the pickup truck in question is Japanese.

Second, US carmakers are well aware of the situation and don't even try to sell most of their cars in Japan as a result. There's no confusion or wondering going on.

Edit: good lord you downvoters are truly fucking brain dead.

I don’t know about you, but the US seems very confused about things right now. No other explanation possible for what’s going on in that country.

You're talking about very, very different things here.

Yes, politically, things are messy in the US right now, putting it generously.

But that's quite different from whether US car companies know why they don't sell their US models in Japan.... This is something they've known and understood for much longer than the current political chaos.

“Things are messy” is “putting is generously”? Bro, wake up 💀

Are you genuinely that dense? That because, here in the GT subreddit in a conversation about GT... I didn't go right into a rant about all the scary fascist shit happening under Trump.... that means I'm not aware of it? Not worried and terrified by it?

You're clearly a fucking moron if you believe US car makers are "confused" as to why they voluntarily don't sell many models in Japan.

Critical thinking & reading comprehension becomes more of a lost art with each passing day.
