Where do you draw the line?
GM owns Saab, Isuzu, Daewoo, Opel, most of Subaru
Ford owns Aston Martin, Jaguar, Volvo, most of Mazda
Chrysler owns Mitsubishi and Mercedes-Benz (or is it the other way around?)
So I guess you can't drive a Honda? (oops, what about the 04/05 Saturn VUE's with the 3.5L V6 from the Honda Pilot?)
Can't drive a Toyota? (oops, except the GM NUMMI Van Nuys, CA-built Prism/Corolla or Vibe/Matrix)
Nissan then? Didn't Nissan and Mercury team up to built the Quest/Villager? Even now, most US Nissans are built in Tennessee or Georgia, but they're non-UAW
For that matter Hondas in Ohio, Toyotas in Kentucky and Texas, BMW's in South Carolina, and Mercedes in Alablama, again non-UAW, but still 'Made In America'
But damn those Mexican built VW Jettas! Oh, what's that? Dodge builds Ram trucks and Neons in Mexico? Um, well, strike that then.
I guess the UAW workers are afraid they'll lose their $45/hour job mounting tires, and I can see why. But those Marines are the same ones protecting their jobs. They don't get it.
