Why can't you answer a single question?

Is a Ford made is Mexico less, more or equally foreign than a Toyota made in Tennessee? How about a Volvo made in Sweden? Is that an American car (as Ford owns Volvo)?

Chrysler is part of the Daimler Group. Daimler is a German company.

How should I decide Guillermo? By total weight of metal? By weight alloy components based on national source of alloy component, by hours spent machining part * weight of metal / % domestic ownership of company that made the lathe? How about ethnicity of shareholders? You tell me. Then tell me I am incorrect when I give you an answer based on your criteria.
Right now, I'm saying that IMO, NASCAR is about the big three domestic automakers, as traditionally defined, racing. The return of the idea of "race on Sunday, buy on Monday" would be a nice (re)addition to the sport too.
