#2 After the Arab oil embargo and Americans went big time to Japanese small fuel efficient quality assembled cars the UAW et al applied political pressure to put caps on imports. The Japanese voluntarily put caps on, but started building plants in the US, just in case. Just as likely today to buy a 'Japanese' car made in American as an 'American' car made in Mexico or Canada.

#5 I suspect that Ohio's right to work law has something to do with Ford's success there.

#6 I have only purchased made in America cars since 1962! I unfortunately had to stop purchasing GM because the transmissions on my last three GM products (Van, Pontiac and Buick)expired at 150,000 miles. I admit that this happened between 1985 and 2008 but I just cannot go back to GM unless they give a 200,000 mile warranty on their transmissions.

#7 200,000 miles or their next bailout, which ever comes first (as pre-bailout buyers found out).
