That was true of our 95 Mazda MX-6. It had the highest US content of any car sold in the US that year. And the best DD we ever had.
My Tennessee made Nissan 4X was my second worst ever vehicle. And Toyota employs thousand of my former fellow Central Kentuckians making boringly reliable cars.
Hope they don't fail too.
Factory delivery of wife's X5 in Spartanburg SC probly frosted some Germans too.
And a Jeep comment. After Daimler did the hostile takeover ("merger") and before they gutted Chrysler a friend pasted a Benz badge on my wife's Jeep GC.
Naw, it don't make 'em feel any better. And it was the absolute worst piece of UAW work we've ever had.
If US made Toyotas can sell and sell, there is no reason a US manufacturer could not build a car that would do the same.
