Just because a product is built abroad does not mean the company is not American. It is all about where the PROFITS go not where the product is made. How much profit do you make? If the whole infrastructure is abroad, how will you preserve the American ownership? With the mere piece of paper?

Toyota seems to do that very well.
They have their own suppliers, and they keep non-japanese out of the upper eschelons of managment. (or at least decision making managment)
