surprising answer

In the new issue of C&D Mag...there is an article about the 'The Most American Vehicles'

Of all the vehicles built in the USA...which one has the highest percentage of American sourced parts?
If you've read the article...let someone else guess.

The top two were surprising (to me)

Nope...not even in the top 5
They only give the top and bottom 5
5th on the bottom (least content) is the Lincoln Corsair

They only give the percentages of the top three.
4th is a tie between the Colorado and the Canyon
