YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I think the difference is a dedication to make a superior product which leads to better quality and workmanship since everyone strives for this when making something in Japan.

Are you saying Americans are lazy? no work ethic?  only concerned about the paycheck?

Having owned both I can say that the American spec/built Toyota is built cheaper and more comfort based. The Japan built Toyota  has less wistles and bells and it seems to be built with a bit more quality control.
