Toyota loses ground in reliability report; Ford models make impressive showings

I think it's funny how we define "American" now. GM / Ford make nearly all their vehicles in Mexico. Toyota makes more cars in the United States than any other company.

Not quite.

In millions of vehicles produced in the USA out of total produced by company:
Toyota - 1.3 of 8.0
GM - 3.0 of 8.9
Ford - 2.4 of 6.3
Chrysler - 1.5 of 2.5
Honda - .98 of 3.7

Looks like Chrysler is the most American brand out there.

Do you have a link to this, I would like to shove it in my Toyota driving sister's face. She bought a Yoda because she thought it was more American because the dealer told her about a plant in Indiana.

This won't help Buster and his raging Ford hard-on.

The VIN is the easiest place to look to see where a car was made. The first digit in the VIN tells you where the vehicle was "put together":
J - Japan
1 or 4 - USA
2 - Canada
3 - Mexico

SAE has specified a lot more than this, but her car should be one of those.
