We import as many American made cars as we export, probably more. And under the way things are written up, there are 4 groups of vehicles. Domestics, imports, captive imports, and domestically produced foreign. A Cobalt built in Mexico is domestic, a BMW built in Germany is an import, a G8 built in Australia is a captive import, and a Tundra built in texas is a domestically produced foreign.

The home country of an automaker reaps the benefits from that automakers international sales. Thats where the engineers and management are, most of them anyway. As are the universities where research and development is done.
