Not when it comes to cameras, my Eurocentric friend. And the U.S. would beat the snot out of you guys with cars, too, if most of our best engineers didn't go to work for defense contractors. One reason the Japanese do so well is that all their best engineers go to work for consumer-goods firms. And of course Ford now owns Jaguar. Who owns Volvo and Saab? The car industry in Britain is in parlous shape, and with the exception of Ferrari, I don't see very many people bragging about Italian cars. Take away the Germans, and your argument disintegrates. --Mike
