BusinessWeek Debate Room Toyota, Take the Wheel
Business Week poses this debate question:
The Japanese manufacturer deserves its new status as the No. 1 automaker, because it produces better vehicles than Detroit does. Pro or con?
Jeff Liker argues “pro.” A guy from something called the “Level Field Institute” makes the usual excuses about yen valuations and labor costs.
What do you think?
