Here is what does it for me. Where do the profits go? And where are the headquarters of the parent company. Pretty simple really. There is a difference between an American manufacturer, and a North American manufacturer. Follow the money.

My Dodge Ram was made in Mexico, but this article gives credit for being made in America, maybe North America, which would include Mexico.

Southern part of North America:)

Really doesn't matter anymore with all the outsourcing..If you want to buy completely 100% American...buy clothes, toy's coats, jackets, running shoes.....WHATEVER that is made in America...going to be REALLY hard to do.....maybe easier with vehicles? Don't know with all the various electronics used that are made "over seas".....I'd love to buy "just American", but I would spend most of the time trying to find 100% everything I need, "made in the USA".

Here is what does it for me. Where do the profits go? And where are the headquarters of the parent company. Pretty simple really. There is a difference between an American manufacturer, and a North American manufacturer. Follow the money.

Just like the one posted yesterday by the Motley Fool, this one is full of holes too. It list Chrysler as an American Company, which it is NOT. It list the transmission as either produced in the US or is not, which leaves a gaping question.....where did all the parts inside the transmission come from. Same question for the engine and all other components used to manufacturer the vehicle. Again, it appears to give Mexico and Canada credit for being American made products, which they are NOT, as they are foreign countries......For any person, especially a supposed learned college professor, to publish such incomplete and inaccurate info makes one wonder just who these people are trying to fool......

Name calling......

I guess we are in Kindergaten.

My Camaro is built in Canada but they consider it American made.

My Dodge Ram was made in Mexico, but this article gives credit for being made in America, maybe North America, which would include Mexico.

Interesting reading

there is no car truck on the road that could function without its foreign parts. so it just doesn,t matter.

I thought Ford's 7.6l diesel was made in Mexico yet the f-series got top engine ranking for made in USA? Yes, I realize that the 6.7 is just a segment of the over-all engines Ford makes for f-series...but top ranking?

For me, doesn't lead a whole lot of credibility to that link.
