There is no such thing as an "American" car anymore. All (major) car companies operate at a global scale, and are dependent upon many different nationalities to produce their products. There are thousands of Americans employed by foreign auto manufacturers just as the opposite is also true. Yet Detroit is treated as if it were a sacred cow, and their advertising is geared toward instilling nationalism. However if you were going to buy a new car would you say it was any more patriotic to buy a Toyota that was manufactured in South Carolina or a Ford from Mexico?
