My Subaru Outback was made in Indiana and has more "made in America" parts than a lot of GM vehicles. This is from late 2007: Chrysler's PT Cruiser was produced in Toluca, Mexico. And according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 35 percent of the PT Cruiser's content was sourced in the U.S. or Canada. The "American" Ford Fusion contains just 30-percent U.S./Canadian content, whereas the competing "Japanese" Honda Accord contains 70 percent, Nissan Altima 65 percent and Toyota Camry 80 percent sourced in America What is an “American” vehicle?

If we're going to bail out American auto companies and hold stock as taxpayers, I damn well want any incentive programs to be based on trading in for an AMERICAN vehicle only.
