I agree with you, but we should celebrate that the Camry is made here rather than Thailand or some other country. It gives people jobs. Look an American Toyota auto-worker in the eye and tell him he should lose his job because his company has a Japanese name.
However, I do agree with you in that I think a lot of people in N.America have a silly anti-American bias that's antiquated; but that's just the law of the market. The Big 3 have to pay the price for crap products that they've made for several decades - it takes time to undo the bad image they've created for themselves. Americans loved American cars a few decades ago - that love didn't disappear overnight.
