There is some confusion here due to the translation of languages.
I've been doing close business with the Japanese for many years, i don't speak much Japanese and i always use an interpreter for every trip to Japan which i take every few months.
The Japanese have a hard time translating numbers.
Many times 1,000,000 turns into 1,000 or 100 turns into 10,000,000.
It's the number of zeros that is always way off. If you understand the industry (which i'd hope you would if you were even in the position of dealing with a Japanese company) then you'd understand the number.
Also, the Japanese say "hand made" to anything that they consider to be made with more caution than their average domestic product. Everything from noodles to jeans to electronics. So basically this means nothing other than "this car was made by Japanese people only".
