Japan had nowhere else to sell cars back then. The world's a different place

Sure, but the post I was responding to was talking about "breaking into the North American market" and disrupting it. That's unlikely to ever happen, and they're already starting to run into regulatory issues in the EU as well. If they're going to be produced that much cheaper than North American cars, they'll just have tariffs put on them to make them far less viable.
