• Japan was the first to come out with compact cars in 1960. The engines were 360 cc up to 600 cc and it was popular almost instantly because of its smaller size, fuel efficiency, and low taxes. It started the boom in the Japanese auto industry
• Japan began exporting their cars 10 years later and has not stopped. The major auto companies have put up factories and plants all over the world and provided jobs and employment in the host countries
• In 2008, Japan became the world’s largest car maker passing the US’s General Motors convincingly. They have recently been overtaken by China although retain their top spot as the most popular car brands in the world

The top Japanese car brands are Toyota, Honda, and Nissan although there are other impressive automakers in Japan like Suzuki and Mitsubishi.  Even with the earthquake last March which shook Japan violently, these companies have managed to keep their head above water and their wits to supply the world with cars. This continued production ensures a robust second hand car industry for many years to come.
