Ford and GM finally wising up to bad idea... trying to sell cars in Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia has been unprofitable.

Ford is shutting down sales operations in Japan and Indonesia, follow the company’s recent closure of an Australian factory.

 General Motors Co. has also been retreating from money-losing businesses, recently making moves to exit or reduce exposure to Russia, Indonesia, Australia and Thailand.

The top three Japanese auto makers held a combined 32% market share in the U.S. last year. Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV accounted for about 0.3% of Japan auto sales over the same period, while domestic brands accounted for more than 90% of the new-vehicle market.
