A year ago, the world was just realizing the devastation that the March 11 earthquake had caused along the east coast of Japan. After weeks and months unfolded, it became starkly clear that the Japanese auto industry had taken a devastating blow.
As the cleanup continues, Japan's auto industry - and its three biggest carmakers - are still suffering from the aftermath. Japanese automakers have yet to fully recover the American market share that they lost when production was disrupted by the crisis. March, 2011, actually was one of the strongest months in recent times for Japanese carmakers in the United States, according to figures compiled for Forbes.com by Autodata. (Forbes)
