Dave, most "US" cars aren't made in america, they are mostly made in Canada. The "foreign" Auto makers employ quite a large amount of US citizens and but a large number of cars right here in america. The idea that you should buy a car from one of the big three (who are all now international companies) just because they wave the flag is what lead to their decline. They made cars that were cheap, poorly designed, poorly made and have little longevity.
