The really aggravating thing is that the domestic companies have engieers just as good as anybody else. They don't need to reverse engineer a BMW or Lexus. They just have to look at the paper specs, and with a reasonable timeframe they'd get there. But many decades ago, marketing and accounting started wagging the dog in this country, and that is showing no signs of truly changing. Instead of $300 million "buy American" ad campaigns, they just need to ask themselves "Why does the competition keep increasing market share, and how do we 1-up them?" the answers are pretty simple really.
