I'm talking about more historical importance. Detroit was the main city that started it all. I think currently there's only 8-12 models made near Detroit, that's just my estimate though.

My thoughts exactly. Seems like these four are a no-brainer, but picking the fifth one is tougher. I'd probably go with either San Jose/Bay Area (country's biggest tech region) or Boston (country's biggest education town) as No. 5.

If it's truly unbiased, would it really be an opinion?

I'm kinda stunned no body has mentioned New Orleans. A massive amount material and goods goes in and out of that port. Not to mention its importance as a Gulf of Mexico oil hub.

Los Angeles -hollywood, industry, port
Houston -energy, port
Washington- political

As much as I love Boston, I think I might have to go with the Bay Area.

The following five are the most important in many respects- cultural prominence, global influence, economic/ political/ social impacts to the country as a whole:
1) NYC
2) LA
3) Chicago
4) DC
5) San Francisco
If there was a 6th, it'll be between: Atlanta, Dallas, Boston, Miami & Houston in my opinion
