If you want an American car (or the closest thing possible), you'll have to get a Toyota (Georgetown, KY, Indiana, or San Antonio) or Subaru built in Indiana. All "American cars," though assembled here, are assembled with parts manufactured in foreign countries, like China, India, etc. There IS no such thing anymore as an "American car". At least Toyota's and Subaru's American plants also bring their suppliers here, giving Americans jobs and paying taxes, UNLIKE "American" manufacturers, who prefer to pay their taxes to China and other countries and employ their workers. The reason we don't see any of the benefits of those .50/hr. wages they pay in China is that the shipping charges eat them up, so we end up paying the same or more than when they were built by Americans in America.
