      Now that you mention it, I wouldn’t be surprised if Japanese companies manufacture more cars in the US than US-based companies.

        Not sure about more, but I remember a story from a while ago that Honda or Toyota had the only NASCAR car entirely manufactured in the US.

      My brother works for one of those “local” companies and was still calling it local even though he had half a dozen plants in Mexico he was responsible for tooling up

        Dodge! I love their looks, but they’ve had disproportionately bad transmission problems since I was a kid. :)
