You could start with them (and other Japanese manufacturers) embracing W Edwards Deming's statistical approach to quality, which made Japanese products the standard of the world and forced everyone else to play catchup. Whatever you drive today, if it was made after 1980 or so, is far more reliable because of what the Japanese and Deming did.

The Taco folks like to turn them into bull (or devil) horns.
