Take a look at the autos below, then click on the car you think is built mostly in the U.S. The answers may surprise you.

No surprise to anyone that pays any attention.

Reminds me of the redneck that was giving me grief about my choice of cars, he was so proud of his Camaro. He did not even know it was built in Canada...

until I told him.

That quiz shows its political lean when it marks you wrong if you pick the Chevy Silverado as being built in the US. While there is an assembly plant in Mexico, most are made in the US.

5/6.
kinda reminds me of some years back when I sold Nissans and certain models were made here ( and some of their domestic counterparts were Canada/Mexico ). Made for interesting "discussions" with customers on what was import and what was not. Or telling someone looking at an Eagle Talon that it was a Mitsu Eclipe that was built in IL ( they swore it was a different car all together, not some import car ).
My .02; I'd rather ( all things being equal ) choose a vehicle that was at least assembled by US workers, then one in another country. Whether that being Canada or Japan; regardless of the badge on the grill. I'll admit it hasn't always worked out that way, but at times it has.

No wonder why so many people call Toyota an American car company with headquarters in Japan.
