Are there a lot of American cars in Japan?

Question

Like there are in Europe, America, and Australia because of their rapidly improving style, gas mileage and quality?

Answer 1

No the heavy import taxes can add many thousands to the price. A $25k car here might cost $40k there. Its not a good deal at that point. Oddly enough we don't tax their cars much at all.

Answer 2

There are, but for years American manufacturers have had to put another $1,000 of work into standard cars to get them up to the quality standards that Japanese consumers expect. American cars are getting better, but they're still about 10 year behind Japanese cars in everything except advertising.

Answer 3

When I was there it seemed like politicians, rich people and gangsters (Yakuza) prefer big American cars. Their the only ones that can afford them.

Answer 4

No, but there are a surprising number of american muscle cars in Sweden. They love em over there.

Answer 5

import fees really expensive to japan so american cars are
expensive but really popular in japan
