That's why Honda, for example, has engine and transmission plants here. Toyota also builds engines here.

You don't know what you're talking about. Why post as if you do?

It's a protectionist thing. Facts don't matter. Just say "We don't make anything here" often enough and it becomes true.

It doesnt seem to want to allow me to reply to lrudeboy too.

I stoped by the auto strip mall today for lunch. I did a quick flyby of a few models to see what the US content is. I only noted the models where it would skew an overall picture of US made parts.

Dodge - 65-75% of US content
Volvo - 1.5% US Content
Nissan 0 - 65% The 65% was 1 model only
Honda 0(several models) - 90%(Accord only)
Chevy 55 - 75%
Toyota 0(4 models %5 and under) - 90%(minivan only)

I dont know where you got your information but it just doesnt match what's in the lot. You may stop being high and mighty at any time.
