4Runner is still made in Japan.

>tfw my japanese truck was assembled in the US

>>14084295

Nice job dodging the question.

>>14084295
You just have to target the models made in Japan. It's not hard.

>>14084286
Because outsourcing is a hell of a drug.

>>14084503

there arent many left

>>14084465
It's the absolute truth. They don't want to pay the import duties, so they make them in Mexico (free trade = cheap Versas) or here (typically big trucks like Titans). Only higher-price models are actually made in Japan and exported, because the import duties matter less.

>>14084286

It's easy if you aren't

>buying new.

>>14084615

How is American labor cheaper than Japanese labor?

>>14085301
Just like Mexican labor is cheaper than American labor.

>>14085301
why wouldnt it be? our workforce is much larger and we have a higher unemployment rate.

>>14085379

Japan's economy is in a recession, you cave dweller

>>14085394

UE rate is irreverent.

Otherwise, why aren't they setting up plants in Spain?

>>14085421
its not irrelevant. with more people looking for jobs you can hire people for less.

>>14085421
because minimum wages dumb ass

the more you can exploit the workers the better the profit

Japanese cars are assembled in the US for logistical and regulatory reasons (trucks can be built here due to no taxation on displacement, for example).

>>14085438

US AUTO LABORERS MAKE FAR MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE, DINGBAT

AND YOU COMPLETELY IGNORED THE POINT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COUNTRIES THAT HAVE HIGHER UE RATES THAN AMERICA.

IF UE WAS THAT CRITICAL OF A FACTOR AS YOU SUGGEST, THEN THEY SHOULD BE SETTING UP PLANTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES NOT AMERICA.

>US AUTO LABORERS MAKE FAR MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE
and the minimum wage in mexico is a fraction of that, that is why cars are being made in mexico and not spain

dumb fucking faggot

>>14085487
if i am going to sell new cars to the US i may as well have my plants there.

BRZ/FRS and WRX are made in Japan
I think the Miata is made in Japan

good thread

>>14084389

Pretty sure the hilux and 4runner are all assembled in Thailand m80

So, what is automotive production labor costs in US and Japan?
I'm genuinely curious.

>>14085301
We don't kill ourselves before the projects are finished

>Want to buy a Japanese manufactured car

Miata is always the answer!

>>14085709
Maybe the Hilux but not the 4Runner.

>>14086076
Why focus on that? That isn't what it's about.
>>14087502
You're confusing Japan with China.

No, they don't.

What car OP?

>>14087635
Nissan Versa

>>14085301
Import duties

>>14087683
Oh yeah, they make those about 110 miles from where I live. Also, most of the Canadian Nissan cars are made here.
Heard workers sometimes forget stuff like those little plastic brackets holding bumpers and stuff, but the quality is acceptable, generally speaking. There was a major issue with engine knocking that needed an engine rebuild to be fixed tho, with HR16DE engines built here a couple years ago.

Most Toyotas sold in America are made in USA. Even better than jap manufactured.

>>14087683
Oh well you deserve it.
You literally have no respect for yourself if you buy a Versa.

My Mazda 3 hatch is made in japan. Don't be a fag and buy the higher models.

>>14087609
If its gm they are.

>>14084286
Don't worry you little weeb faggot, all the money goes to nipland.

whats the deal with all the frog posting lately?

MIJ: import fees and a big cunting ocean to ship it across

MIM: no fees, no ocean.

Please buy MIM cars, then beaners have jobs and stay in Mexico.
