Cars from the 1980s were usually scrap after 10 years but a Japanese car today can be 15 years old and ready for another 200000km. US companies like Celestron missed a great opportunity in the 90s. All the computing technology and automated manufacturing was theirs for the taking. However they did not move forward as the Japanese and Europeans did ,preferring cost over quality control and the long term . Too late now. Cloudy over here in NZ . Damn.
