Toyota is in the midst of a renewed push on TPS to radically reduce costs to become competitive in the future with low labor wage countries like Korea and China.
Maybe if everyone used the Toyota way, we could keep more jobs for Americans.

Maybe if Americans would build cars the Toyota way then I would buy them.

65% of Toyota sales are by cars/trucks built in North America.

Nearly all, if not all, are not built in Detroit. I am also willing to bet nearly all of the plants are non UAW shops as well.
