[QUOTE="x x 4, post: 534561, member: 61487"] On "American made" - Automation is putting labor out of the picture - or it will soon. Ohio Honda plant is heavy into automation. Labor and materials is small part of the picture. IMHO product development and stock ownership are much more important when defining the origin of a vehicle. You buy an "American made" Honda and the profits go back to Japan. The product development was done in Japan by Japanese engineers and designers (well sometimes Japanese automakers have US styling studios - with American designers working for JP bosses...) If you buy a Ford - it is American - regardless of "domestic content" or assembly location. [/QUOTE]
