Foreign car makers find share of success in Japan

Article Abstract:

Several foreign automobile manufacturers, particularly those from Europe and the US, have become successful in the Japanese market. Import sales rose 41% to 111,744 vehicles in the first four months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994, contradicting allegations mainly brought up by US car makers that Japan intentionally makes the market harder for foreign automobiles. Although imports shared only 4.5% of the Japanese passenger market in early 1995, the figure is still significant considering that Japan has a very competitive market.
