True. Our 2002 Mazda was built in Michigan, and our 2008 Toyota Camry was built in Kentucky.

I know what you mean. I still have this 'aversion' to foreign cars and I know it's just nostalgia. But then again, I'm still waiting for the Packard to come back. ;~))

Full disclosure: My dad worked for a Packard dealer when I was young. Dad told me that Cadillac was a swear word and those Caddys were only Chevys with chrome-plated lock washers.

Who's to argue with dad? ;~))

And damn, I wish I had that 38 Packard Roadster that was the first car I remember riding in.

I hear you. The first car I owned under my own name was a 1974 Plymouth Duster.

Your dad was right. Look no further than the 1982 Cadillac Cimmaron and the 2000 Cadillac Catera.
