Incorrect, china actually knocked off an entire honda accord, and a honda cbr motorcycle. You just dont see them here because they arent federal legal to drive in the US.

Greddy did this to themselves. You start shifting away from hard parts like headgaskets, fasteners, and turbo kits to hock friggin catch cans... no wonder after only being in a slowdown for 6 months they go belly up. You think your main market of McDonalds employees can buy your shiftknobs when they're trying to afford gas? The knock-offs don't help, but that honestly shouldn't matter to a company with Greddy's history. The most complicated parts that China are knocking off are intake manifolds, and they suck at it. All the other parts are stupid "lifestyle" parts, not their core go-fast parts. Shame on them for buying into that crap. This reeks of mis-management, only amplified by the marketplace and economy.
