None of the big three has their own dealer in JAPAN. It's quite complicated. Speaking of HUMMER H2 & H3, MITSUI trade company has a lisence to sell them in JAPAN as GM authorized dealer. If I buy from them, I can get 4 years warranty for free. But, their dealers are not located nationwide, and the nearest dealer for me is 3 hours away. And that, the price is high. Therefore, I didn't buy from them.
As for Chevrolet, a dealer called "YANASE" sells them as an authorized dealer and they are located nationwide.
Anyway, American cars are not popular in JAPAN because ;
1. Fuel economy is bad in comparison with Japanese cars.
(The price of gasoline in JAPAN is 3 times higher than U.S.)
2. Too big for narrow roads in JAPAN
3. We can buy Japanese cars with more cheaper price
4. Most of Japanese people think that American cars are not reliable.
