The word in your last sentence makes it -- "assembled", in the US some Japanese cars are more American, with more American parts than the actual American brands, sad, so "Assembled in America" should be the new moniker. Canada does a lot too.
Ford and Chrysler are shutting down plants for months at a time to slow production but GM is not, don't know about the Japanese of Korean companies. Sad too that Union wages/benefits adds between 9-12 thousand a vehicle. WOW!
And don't get me started about Mexico and its involvement in the demise of the American infrastructure.
