Japan very effectively 'subsidizes' their own auto companies by excluding the importation of foreign autos. (And many other foreign products.) This has been factored already into their desicion to build assembly plants here. US has no fair trade with Japan because it is not bilateral so we should not feel obligated to continue it.
The Japanese assembly plants are at best a poor subsititute for the lost auto production/sales we have suffered due to Japan's policies. Of course by that happening US automakers were forced into producing a much better product at a cheaper price. But now with Korea making very strong inroads into the market, things will continue getting worse for US and for Japan.
