Last year I was going to buy a Ford only to find out on the window sticker that the models I wanted were made in Mexico, so I did not buy a Ford. When and if I buy American, I expect it to be built in the US, how about you?
Good luck. Most vehicles today are a combination of parts made in the USA and foreign countries and assembled in the USA with some assembled in Canada and Mexico. USA cars are even being made in China and Australia today and some are already being sent to the USA.
Nope. Don't care where the car is made. Nationality of the brand is irrelevant. If you really want to support the US worker, buy a car built in the USA with the largest number of components made in the USA. (Here's a hint, it will most likely be a Toyota)
I have an Austrian engine in my BMW motorcycle.
BMW SUVs are mostly made in the US. ..
Many VWs are made in Mexico ..
I lived near Mercedes in Stuttgart. Most plant workers were cheap laborers from Turkey, Romania, .... So what's the difference? If you think a blond German with blue eyes and a strong sense for perfectionism and highly educated is putting your Mercedes together with German made parts... think again ...
I just found this: Mercedes has plants in Southafrika, Brasilien, Argentinien, China, Vietnam, Japan, Indien, Indonesien, Egypt, Turkey, Spain, France, USA and Kanada. http://www.auto.de/magazin/made-in-g...eute-mercedes/
Including Canada but not Mexico for "domestic" parts content and assembly is weird. Drop Canada off and the "foreign" makes stand out even more as for being produced here.
It amazes me that people still dont know this. Japanese companies have been building cars in the US for years and America companies have been building cars in Mexico and Canada for years.
