Which is worst: American companies outsourcing labor to China, or Japanese companies making their cars here?
Look at China: most of the goods made there are from foreign owned companies, and yet their economy is far stronger than the US right now.
The disdain for a Camry made in America amazes me. Sounds like a bunch of whiners who can't see the big picture; that or some not-so-subtle xenophobia.

My disdain for a Camry made ANYWHERE has to do with 2 facts: 1 - It's freaking boring. Yawn. The Malibu or Taurus have a LOT more going for them imo. 2 - Even if it's built here, it benefits another country more. And the thing that REALLY bugs me about that, is that Japan PROTECTS their car market at home. But if WE try to do that people start whining and crying about it...
