Hybrid Cars help stir U.S. / Japan Trade War Discussions
Blame it on a hybrid car!
The success of Japanese car-makers in the U.S. is sparking fear in some economists that Japan's 30% share of the U.S. automarket is going to lead to a trade war.
Recent studies suggest that U.S. consumers are converting to Japanese cars because of quality and second-hand value. Additionally, Japan's ability to produce new lines of vehicles has enabled them to explore several niche markets, including young drivers.
Toyota recently credited the Scion, Prius hybrid, and Tundra as the vehicles responsible for gaining new market share.

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
