I wonder how many parts of a Honda, Toyota, or other 'foreign' car in made in the United States, while at the same time wonder about the number of foreign made parts in Chevolets, Fords, etc. It is probably impossible to call either one wholly-made in the country of their original origin.

But the major problem with 'American made' autos is not the origin of the parts, but the labor unions that have practically destroyed a once proud industry. Let the auto makers fall where they may, and a group of white hats will buy them up and start producing a decent car that can either run on CNG, or get 75 mpg.
