What the hell is an “American” car? 100% assembled in the US? !00% parts made in the US? 50% each? How about owned by an 100% American owner?
When Chrysler was owned by Daimler, did it still make American cars?
Doesn’t Ford own Volvo and Jaguar? Are Volvo and Jaguar American cars now? Toyota Camrys are made (or is it only assembled) in Tennessee, I think. Are they American cars?
When you buy one of those Ikea beds and you assemble it in your bedroom, does that mean you made it?
I think automobiles rise and fall in correlation with the overall economy. I think cars are coming back and sales are strengthening. I hope that means the rest of the economy will soon follow. I don’t give a shit if it’s American or Japanese or Korean or Arturian cars.
