TL;DR
The prior page asserted repeat-issuer rankings, largest originators, standard GK-TK vehicles, tranche stacks, APR/default behavior and investor categories without named public deals. Those claims are removed. A Japanese auto-loan ABS must be described from its named legal issuer, originator, pool cutoff, servicing, waterfall, enhancement and dated rating / pricing evidence.
