That attitude was once just as strong in Europe: while Japanese cars made it to American shores in the late 1950s, it took another decade before Japan made serious inroads on the European continent. The battles were the same: national pride, a skoshe of racism thrown in for good measure, and the Japanese car companies didn’t really try to gain a foothold in continental Europe until after the American market was under way and out of danger. A dribble of models in the ‘60s established the Japanese way of doing things, and European buyers were deluged by a flood of new and improved models during the ‘70s.
