It screams "Assembled in America". I'd like to know the percentage of parts that are made in america and then assembled in America for each car and truck.

The article included the following:

"The American-Made Index considers five main factors in its ranking:

The final assembly location
The origin of parts in the car as reported for the AALA
The origin country (or countries) for its engines
The origin country (or countries) for transmissions
The number of Americans its parent automaker employs at the factory level"

I'd feel better if you were more mature.

Just pointing out something you probably missed :C

In spite of the rhetoric by politicians, most supply chains involve lots of different countries. Vehicles are not exception. One of the reasons tariffs will never work.

My excursion was made in Canada and my fusion was made in Mexico. I couldn't pull the fusion 4 down so I traded it for a Hyundai, made in America.

Wow, 7 out of the top 15 are Honda/Acura, they have more invested in the US than the so-called big 3.
