Japan automobile market: 2009 decreased significantly low open low walk 2010





Japan finally compromised to Detroit.

2010-1-20, Japan Government eventually agreed that the United States automobile into their implementation of trade-in program. According to this plan, as long as the United States largest automobile company exports to Japan by car can reach Japan provided 2010 emission standards, Japan consumers buy these products will be around us $ 2752 subsidies.

In Michigan, it seems that Mr Stabenow, Japan Government this approach is consistent with the interests of both sides, and finally reach a win-win situation.

And Detroit three car manufacturers in Japan compared to obtain preferential policy, Japan-us Alliance is also in this period ushered in the 50 anniversary. But because of the political and military reasons, they did not coordinate between is still in the State. Therefore, the Japan economic news "in its editorial in the" cold "to describe the relationship between them. Therefore, part of Detroit's victory let people see the United States. "At this time, Japan has finally bowed to the US," a Senator in media interviews, he said.

However, the real figures have a different interpretation. In can enjoy stimulating policy models, Detroit is no Japan Automobile as active. Now , only of Ford Escape , generic Cadillac CTS Chrysler as well as 's Grand Voyager can enjoy the benefits. Their total sales in the 700 or so. And that figure compared to that in the United States Government trade-in , , Toyota Honda , Nissan , Japan Automobile manufacturers in the United States sold 31.93 million cars.
