And many parts that are used in all vehicles are outsourced from all over as well. Heck, I saw where the was a Chevy (one of the small ones, Aveo I think) that only had like 5-10% of US made parts, go figure. So to answer the OP's question, I say I buy vehicles that are American Brands.

Certain Honda cars are Domestic..

So, the argument itself is meaningless and it usually leads in to things like "Support US workers" -- which is also meaningless because while the Camaro is assembled and built by Canadians, GM/Chevy employ all manner of US workers -- So, we boycott a brand or a model? -- Same with Honda.. Let's not buy from an evil Foreign car maker and support US -- So, don't buy Honda, even though they employ a great many people in the states.

If this one doesn't go that way, I'd be surprised.. but, most of the "What type do you buy" threads go in to the debate of support local workers and just devolve in to flames.

Plus the statement in the OP's message is conflicting.. I don't buy Foreign (listing Honda) -- Well, that's domestically made... But, I buy American like Chevy/Dodge ... well, some of those are made out of Country..

Yes, buying "American" you can be supporting American -- but, what about American companies that outsource almost all of their manufacturing, call centers, etc overseas because it's cheap labor and then only employ minimally here? You could very well be better off supporting a Foreign brand that employs all manner of Americans here.

Camaro isn't a USA made car
Honda isn't a non-USA made set of cars

The examples are self contradictory, so there's nothing from which to really talk about other than what's being explained above.

It would be like saying, I hate listening to Foreign music like Country/Western

How does the music reference not make sense? It's exactly the same thing, in terms of music Genre, that the OP stated about cars.

So.. something being designed in a certain country is what makes it that country's?
Well, I guess you can make BBQ Foreign food, because we didn't design it.

This is exactly correct OP. There really are no American cars/Domestic cars. There are American Brands and Foreign Brands but many so-called Foreign Brands like Honda are made more in the USA than many American Brand cars.

I totally agree with nancygrl and humanwiki.
