but where the hell are the autos sold here actually made?

Toyota and Honda make their cars here in the USA.

See This Kentucky Toyota Car Plant

Honda makes their cars in Alabama. See here

The Korean car maker -- Hyundai, makes their cars in Alabama as well. see here

A friend in the finance business is stating that many of the cash for clunkers that were sold, were sold to those that could not afford the loans and local lots here are starting to fill up with these repossessed autos. Problem is... new autos can be purchased almost as cheaply. There is the theoretical economy and then there is reality out here in the trenches. Don't try to tell those of us in the trenches that mustard gas smells sweet and is actually good for our complexions!

Honda, Toyota, Kia/Hyundai - "assembled" ain't "made". One can see by the Mexican maquiladora factories just how much hosting the assembly business can benefit a country.
