UNDER A U.S. HOOD, AN ORIENTAL SURPRISE

RAY GARLAND (column March 1) cannot understand why Americans would prefer Japanese to American cars. Does he know that his wonderful 1989 Ford Taurus SHO, which represents such a marvelous value over the Japanese Lexus, has a Yamaha-built engine? Maybe that's why he loves his Ford so much.\ RICHARD M. EISLER\ BLACKSBURG
