This is the competition.

And people wonder why GM and Ford are struggling right now. According to this story, there is litigation in Japan regarding a Toyota engineer who died from being overworked. I have long thought the primary reason U.S. automakers were falling behind their Japanese counterparts was because of the impact of the unions here in this country. But, for all the criticisms, this is an example of the benefit of such a labor union.
