Fess-up, Detroit: where are you?

In automotive, it's no longer the Prius, but it is still "from" Japan.

I should say the design only is from Japan. Honda's six US factories generally have higher quality ratings then their Japanese counterparts. Part of that due to the fact the factories are newer, the work force is slightly younger, the unions not as hostile - but mostly due to top-down brainpower... which sadly, is lacking from Detroit.
