Not bashing your way of thinking, because I was the exact same way. I guess my narrow mindedness has expanded with age. Lol

Without checking the numbers I still feel confident believing that more cars from US based companies are made here than Foreign car companies.
As to the taxes and salaries there are still less than the US companies (I assume) but IIRC most of them set up camp in Right to Work states so no Unions (if that's important to you, surprisingly it's not to me) all of this is in a effort to undercut the US based companies while still being able to claim that they are "American made cars". Believe it or not this is my expanded mind I'm 40 now... lol
The long and short of it I really doubt that buying an Asian or German car for that matter does as much good for the US economy as buying an American based car. It this Global Economy nonsense that IMHO doesn't seem to be working out too well that is even making this a conversation. It's not enough that many of the components on all the cars are pretty global as it is. I mean electronics from Japan/China/Mexico the Brakes have been Australian/Italian etc.
BTW... this was not an attempt at starting an argument or debate just me explaining my stance/opinion.
