Couldn't we limit Toyota to selling 120 Camrys each year in the States?

Lord knows our hard working American and Canadian workers could use the trade balance!

An alottment extension to fill Japan's desire for Camaro's might sell a few hundred or maybe even a thousand cars there. Whats that... a solid extra week at the assembly plant and the suppliers?

Japanese government. Sets quotas on all American cars being imported into their country, yet they're able to send as many of their cars to the US as they want.

We should. Saves me the trouble of having to look at the ugly cars.
