The code of ethics has nothing to do with talking to friends, neighbors and colleagues about the mis-information put out by Japanese companies. Many people just honestly are not savvy enough about cars or economics to make sound buying decisions. Most people think that because Honda and Toyota build cars here, that they are "American" companies. NOT TRUE. The sale of Japanese vehicles, even those built here, contribute only a minute amount to the overall auto business in the U.S. In addition, most non-car savvy individuals think Japanese cars are the most reliable. Again NOT TRUE. The top top-ranking vehicles in long-term reliability in the U.S. are a Ford and Buick.

Informing people to make wise buying decisions that help our country SHOULD be a VERY ethical thing to do.
