Shipping large vehicles across the ocean is probably cost prohibitive. That is why semi trucks and trailers are built in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Although, John Deere and several others make heavy machinery in Japan and ship it via ocean containers.
Just because it's Japanese or German does not mean it would be built there.
Honda, Kawasaki, Kia, Mercedes, among others build vehicles in the US.
Look at beer, a lot of company's have been sold to foreign owners.
Look at Chrysler, foreign owners.
Just because it's owned by a foreign company doesn't mean it won't be built here.
