Toyota has already produced its 10 millionth car in the U.S.

Yes but for comparison purposes, how many of those cars are for the Japanese market?

Building Toyotas here makes good business sense...as Henry Ford said "build'em where they buy'em"

Wait a second-- when a US manufacturer opens a plant in China, it's good for China at our expense.  And when some foreigner opens a plant in the US it's bad for us and they profit?

Am I missing something?

None..........all are sold here in the USA. These cars are referred to as "transplants"

"Building Toyotas here makes good business sense...as Henry Ford said "build'em where they buy'em"

Henry Ford was the owner of an American company, building cars in America.

We have been suckered into believing that maintaining our inflated wages is so important, that we are willing to become the employees of a nation we defeated half a century ago.

Protecting our auto manufacturing jobs translated into selling our market to the Japanese.

Guess what the two best selling cars in America are today?

#1 -- Camry
#2 -- Accord

We've lost our own market, and now work for foreign firms.
