"No Top 10 Car is American" says Consumerist
today – but it’s more than that. Every last one of the Consumer Reports
Top 10 autos is Japanese, even the top pickup truck. America is now far more
worried about its ports being bought by Dubai than it is about Rockefeller Center
or anything else being bought by the Japanese. But with Japan posting 5.5%
growth in the fourth quarter of 2005, the long-sleeping giant seems to be
stirring anew. The Nikkei rose 40% in 2005, and the country is now being referred
to as a "$500 trillion emerging market". China’s where the world’s
attention is these days. But Japan could prove to be a much smarter bet. Demographics
aren’t everything.
Three posts, three Consumerist links. Has Denton started buying (cue spooky organ) live people? No-one is safe, except maybe for those people in Georgia that post off-color cartoons about minorities. Maybe Denton will let them exist free of the Borg.
