It is also a history book, providing an intimate portrait of the largerthanlife personalities and cars that led the American auto industry through its glory days and down the path toward extinction. It is a political/current affairs piece, presenting the rise of a Japanese company Toyota not just in terms of its sales success but also in terms of its cultural success, as it works to assimilate into American society. And finally, it is a neverbeforeseen primer on Detroit The Motor City a town and a region dominated by the auto companies, their suppliers and their ad agencies and by a mindset and culture all its own. In commentary that is as accurate as it is blunt, Peter De Lorenzo presents the players and the action in the auto business in a way not seen before in print. His voice is unique and refreshingly candid. His provocative analyses and assessments grounded in personal experience and a lifelong immersion in all things automotive present a compelling picture of the state of the auto business how it used to be, what it has become and where it is headed. From the arrogance and shortsightedness of the Detroit manufacturers to the acumen and relentlessness of Toyota, The United States of Toyota paints an insightful portrait of an iconic American industry as it struggles for survival in the early years of the 21st century.
