if you explain why you think so, you get best question.

By japanese, i mean, japanese parts, japanese plants, and and other things that could affect GMC/Toyota/Honda

Thanks

No, but there are a couple of sub systems. Why do you ask ???

Overall I would say probably not. BUT, since Toyota has not stopped production on any of their cars and GM just closed a plant in Louisiana that makes the Colorado/Canyon because they can't get the necessary parts from Japan it does make a person wonder.

I think in time, if the situation in Japan doesn't improve, you will see more Toyota and Honda models having production issues than the other manufacturers. Both of their hybrids are made in or rely heavily on parts from Japan. In today's world Toyota and Honda are as much American made as the "Big 3", they both have plants in the USA and have models that are produced entirely in the USA.

Without knowing for certain the extent of Japanese parts used in producing cars for any of the "Big 3" it is hard to say which car maker will be affected the most.

well japanese is more on the toyota side also GM had worked with geo for geo prizms which are a toyota corolla actually. Tundra is being built in Texas now with mostly japanese parts. GMC is mostly american with it being built in mexico now is really tearing them up. Toyota and honda are more the car you wanna by. all the conutries do different things and each company has different plants. Toyota i would say is best! they dont have any issues but theres a plant down in mexico where they build a chevy that says silverado and sierra on the same truck and there supposed to be quality.
