My wife had a Honda a few years ago, it was made in Ohio and had over 70% of the parts made in the US. By contrast as friend of mine just bought a new Dodge truck, it was and its engine were made in Mexico. To my way of thinking the Honda was American made the Dodge isn't.

Wow! I guess we can truly not buy American cars. I really had no idea that so many cars had parts from many areas of the world. Interesting to say the least.

My wife"s 2006 Mustang has 70% of it's parts made outside of the USA. The Toyota trucks made in Princeton, Indiana have more than 70% of their parts made in the USA. I agree that buying USA made vehicles is not just a choice of buying Ford, GM, or Chrysler (Which is now a European company.)
