The simple answer is: "It's complicated!" I worked as a machine designer for over 35 years. The company I worked for, in the US, designed and fabricated the machines "in house". What we could not fabricate was sent out to local US companies. So it was "All American!", right? Except, no. Almost all of our purchased components like bearings, fasteners, air valves, gearboxes, electronic control devices were all made in foreign countries. Even some of our engineers, machinists, service people and even some company managers were foreign born. It truly is a global economy and has been for several decades.

Big difference between American made and American assembled. Honda is the most American made manufacturer, Toyota is second. Being, they use more American made parts and American made raw materials than other manufacturers. Read a report several years ago that stated Toyota spent over $32 billion on American raw materials for their vehicles that calendar year. GM, Ford, and Ram use parts made as cheaply as possible in Mexico and Canada, which are shipped to the US for assembly. Hence, why they are routinely rated as the least reliable vehicles. That said, the 4Runner and Land Cruiser are the two top vehicles on the road, both made with Japanese parts in Japan, and dominate reliability ratings.

There's a historical reason that cars made in Canada are treated as domestically produced in the US. By the 1950s the big three auto makers controlled 100% of the Canadian market. However high tariffs ment that to sell 10 different models in both countries they had to produce them in both countries. This was very expensive so the auto industry lobbied both governments and had them negotiate a free trade deal covering cars and car parts called the Autopact. Over time the manufacturers consolidated production but about the same amount of manufacturing remained in Canada, only now instead of producing small amounts of a lot of different models, Canadian plants produce a large amount of a couple of models most of which is exported to the US and almost all of the rest of the cars sold in Canada are imported from the US.

@David Moore lol… all the big companies listed prolly have multinational investors as well, it is really hard to find a product that is 100% owned, made, and operated by just a single country. Why can’t we just buy the best product they we can afford.

If you are buying a car, why do you care where the profits end up going? Regardless of where the company is headquartered, the profits are still be held by the shareholders and the owners of the company. All that should matter is that Americans are being employed to assemble the vehicle.

I remember the argument for when not buying USA cars you were taking food off the table of Americans, but I rarely heard people mention that having a consumer pay for a lesser quality vehicle (with a shorter life, and lesser engineering design) was taking money off of their table.

If I understand this video correctly and I know it's more of an "I don't like Tesla electric cars thing"... I find it funny that the 'big' 'merican truck that's coal-rolling the Tesla is 'less American' than the Tesla.

The question is... would u prefer half the bi product pollution of having 100% of the production in your backyard

Am I the only one that the background sound in this video is so hard to listen to?

I specifically look for Subarus made in Japan. So whole models I don't bother with since they are all made in USA. So the Impreza and Crosstrek line are all made in Japan with Japanese parts.

Truth is people just want an affordable quality car. When leaving your job after working extra hours or a 2nd job you need the car the start. Don’t care where it maybe made.

@@minhaj23227 No, you see no US cars in Japan or EU, because most of US cars are simply horrible in comparision and dont take local customs or laws in cosidiration. You have some rare muscle car or pickup here, but that really because one is a fan of such cars and not because of needed a car and made an rational choice. US cars are simply too big, too inefficiente and have too low quality compared to what else you could buy in EU or Japan. Its same reason why Wallmart failed in Germany - they thought that same principle that works in US would work in Germany. It didnt. On other hand Lidl and Aldi are exploding in US, because they did bring new thing to US while changing some things to please local population. From US car makers only Ford did same in Europe - and guess what, it was actually very successful with it. And its same thing that German or Japanese carmakers do in US - lots of models popular in US arent even availeble in their home countries, they are tailored extra for US. And thats why they sell. Not because of some tarrif nonsense, that you can avoid by opening a factory there.

The question is. How much freedom does your car have?

VERY few brand new vehicles, if any, are 100% American anymore. My 2023 Mazda CX-30 was assembled in Salamanca, Mexico. 65% of the parts were made in Mexico, 25% were made in Japan, and only 5% were made in America. But it doesn't mean in any way it's a poorly built vehicle. There are a ton of these on the road and have been given very favorable reviews from car reviewers and owners.

If only Economy is Worldwide. We have a worldwide minimum wage, worldwide prices, worldwide standards in education, and worldwide cooperation. The only reason exporting something to be assembled, only to be reimported is viable is because labor is cheaper in mexico, china, and the likes.

Toyota and Honda will last 10x longer then any so call domestic vehicle..even the resale value is better

Very simplified for trade. Country of origin does not indicate the origin is purely from that region for USMCA. It merely indicates that the good passes one of the three test to be considered country of origin US, Mexico or Canada. The value content is typically never 100 percent derived from that area. Usually the three test are deminis, tariff shift and RVC to pass and be considered "100% origin" from one of the USMCA's country. There is currently debate with Mexico and Canada saying that if country of origin is from that region the value content that is foreign not from those area's should be ignored and considered 100% value from those regions. The US is stating the opposite that even if it passes those value contents must be broken down by foreign and not use just being country of origin determination. The topic is a lot more complex and the system to make it work would be a lot something bigger than people can even imagine.
