I adore my little Toyota sold by Chevy and my Japanese made Mazda. While I love my Dodge truck, it's probably had a dozen or more recalls on it.

It used to be that foreign companies were required by law to use more than 50% american made parts in all their cars sold here. Not sure if that is still true or not. But as far as I am concerned 1/2 my family works for Nissan and my sentra was built in Tennessee. If someone has a problem with me driving it, it's their problem, not mine.

I'm not sure why this is OK with people, but that's another issue.

I figure the revenue goes to the company selling the car, yes?  American based car companies would receive revenue from their sales.  But then I'm ignorant on the subject and my comment was mostly tongue in cheek so....eh.
