Ditto most of your kitchen stuff.
Ditto your TV/BlueRay/etc to the computer/smartphone/pad/etc you are viewing
this thread with
Ditto most anything in your home

If someone wishs to only purchase American Made...then they will have few belongs

As for my TV and trucks...am a GM person (used to be a Ford person and Dodge guy)
and am NOT blindly loyal to any brand. My preference is foreign...as
Detroit lost me back in the 70's. If Nissan or Toyota or Honda made

On my 'have to have' list and on the top three is specification, performance

Next is that I can work on it (almost an oxymoron these days)
On my 'nice to have' list and at the bottom is 'ride quality'.
My opinion is to make up our lists for 'have to have' and 'nice to have'
