There are many pro as well as counter examples: Mitsubishi CARS, COMPUTERS,
AIRPLANES, SEMICONDUCTORS, and AUDIO/VIDEO EQUIPMENT.  Honda MOTORCYCLES, CARS,
LAWNMOWERS.  Of course we also have Honda-Acura, Toyota-Lexus, Nissan-Infiniti
Sony-Awia.

Oh yeah, Mitsubishi also makes large scale construction eq'pt, easily as much
a niche market as the Amiga, is its own way...

IMNSHO Americans tend to buy the most hyped product initially, but will
eventually move to the _best_ product that fills the available resources, the
same cannot be said for American businesses.
