It's amazing how quickly history is forgotten. Cars manufactured in Detroit in the 70's had become a national embarrassment. Ford stood for "found on road dead" or "fix or repair daily". It took the Japanese to force Detroit to clean up its act and start competing.
This happened in other sectors as well, US manufacturing quality was pretty bad in the 70's & 80's.

I know but cars were the obvious ones. American made cars in the 79's and 80's were absolute garbage. The only Americans willing to drive American cars were WWII veterans who served in the Pacific theater and hated the Japanese. Everyone else wanted a Toyota because they were reliable cars.
