They will be testing here, they will consider some of the opinions made by the Americans, but all the final decisions are made in Japan. I would bet money that wherever this car is going, there is a veritable entourage of Japanese engineers.

I would put the 'outside of Japan' contribution to engineering at less than 5%.
