Combine the Marushin concept with the Armour detail and price point and you've got a winner!
Manufacturers like FM/ Armour produce what they feel consumers will purchase. Perhaps we're dealing with the same consumer mentality in the U.S. that says it's OK to buy a Volkswagen, BMW or an Audi, but not a Nissan, Honda or a Toyota.... (Most of which are built by Americans in the US with US manufactured parts....) Never mind the Panasonic DVD player and the Sony TV sitting in their living room.......
