Default Good Morning from Japan

I live part time here in Japan and they have conservation down to a science. From recycling days to cars. Sometime they are a little bit over the top but it works. Toyota is a very popular car but there are many more.

The Mitsibishi is very popular, gas model but the hybrid is coming on strong. The model is both gas and hybrid here.

Japanese technology is great. No wonder their cars, especially the big ones (Toyota,mitsubishi,honda) have dominated the charts even in foreign lands.

welcome to the forum, Yoko. Japan is undoubtedly the largest automobile manufacturer with some of the leading automobile companies like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Yamaha, Mazda, Subaru, etc...

Welcome to the board, Yoko. Which part of Japan are you from? I have relatives who live in Kobe and Osaka. Once again, Japan is leading the way in auto technology while the big American companies scramble and try to prevent from going under. You'd think our auto manufacturers would have learned their lesson back in the 70s during the first oil crisis.
