To each their own.
I ask: What is an American car?
Is it the Dodge truck built in Mexico?
The Ford built in Canada?
The Pontiac built in Australia?
The Toyota built in Kentucky?
The Honda built in Ohio?
The Nissan built in Georgia?
The Mazda built in Michigan?
The Mercedes bulit in Alabama?
The BMW built in South Carolina?
The Subaru built in Japan but partly owned by GM
The Saab built in Japan but owned by GM?
The Volvo built in Sweden but owned by Ford?
The Chrysler built in Michigan but owned by Mercedes Benz?
The Aston Martin built in Britain but owned by Ford?
The Saturn built in Tennessee but with a Honda motor (VUE)?
The Mazda built in Japan but owned by Ford?
The Chevrolet Aveo built by Daewoo owned by GM in Korea?
You tell me.
