Dudes and Cars ”Lessons from Japan”

I`ve noticed in the press there have been lots of articles indicating about Japan`s ‘Lost decade’ and the lessons that the US can learn from Japan…

One of the more recent articles is this One from the New York Times about the lasting legacy of the Lost Decade. The writer says that there is a new sense of thrift in Japan. I don`t see that where I am. It seems that the Yokohama-Tokyo Coorador is one big shopping mall. I have seen more sales and coupons in the mail but it doesn’t seem possible that less Japanese are interested in shopping.

Its possible that less young Japanese guys are interested in cars because the trains are so useful and parking is a pain… but girls love a guy with a car. They love going on drives and guys will do anything for a girl, same as all other countries. The stats about guys not wanting cars are dubious in my opinion.
