RE: Obviously, they have never gone anywhere with cars, to see how half of them are foreign
Yes, but don’t they make the Toyota’s, Hyundai’s and Honda’s and yes, even the Volkswagen’s here in the good old US of A?
They are assembled in the US, with parts shipped from overseas. I don't know what the average percentage of the parts in transplants are American made, but I understand the percentage is improving. That is if you don't include Mazda, which has moved all of their manufacturing back to Japan.
Of course, the profits still go overseas.
