“Peter De Lorenzo has conducted what I hope is a premature autopsy of the American automobile industry. If you can read The United States of Toyota book without repeatedly banging your head on your desk in frustration at the self-destructive transgressions committed by Chrysler, Ford, General Motors and the United Auto Workers, you are either dim-witted or work at Toyota. De Lorenzo’s take on the industry is merciless, clear-eyed, accurate, frequently funny and, Thank God, hopeful. I wish I had written this book. More to the point, I wish everyone who works in the U.S. auto industry—drones and hotshots alike—would read this book.”

“As usual, Peter’s many pointed criticisms and scathing rants are merciless, and mostly on target. But his take-no-prisoners style is borne of emotion. His passion for the automobile and the automotive industry makes the story read less like corporate analysis and more like a gut-wrenching love story. I will be especially interested to read the sequel!”
