It's assembled in America, doesn't that count?

No, not quite. When they're headquartered in the US, hiring America engineers, and listed on the NYSE, it will

Really, what's the difference? They are a company based in Japan (?) that brought jobs to America. Just like Ford, GMC and Mopar send jobs overseas.

Of course not... You just want to funnel money to UAW.

How many jobs does a HQ provide? Very few. Nevertheless Toyota has several headquarters locations in the U.S. and besides Toyota is building a new factory in San Antonio to build more of these trucks in America than they currently are in Indiana and Alabama. Add to the workers at the factory all the new jobs created by the parts suppliers and you have a huge commitment to American jobs by Toyota.

hiring America engineers

Many American engineers already work for Toyota.

and listed on the NYSE

They are! Their stock symbol is TM on the NYSE big board.

Satisfied?

The Tundra plant was developed by someone cast off from Chevrolet....the Tundra ad campaign features former Chevrolet driver Daryl Waltrip....the Toyota Tundra marketing campaign is headed up by a bought out Chevrolet employee who created the Like A Rock campaign.

Get the picture?
