I’d say more like American assembled.
Profits still go to Toyota in Japan.
It’s cheaper for Toyota to assemble
their autos here than to pay the
tariffs associated with completely
assembled autos being shipped here.
While they do employ a lot of people
here, many of their parts are still
made in Japan. Parts and warranty is
where the money is....
I chose Toyota because money
spent with them does not end up in the UAW.
