“So what is an American car company? Apparently it’s one whose headquarters are in Detroit. GM has Opel in Germany, Holden in Australia, Saab in Sweeden, Vauxhall in the U.K., and Wuling in China. Ford has Mazda in Japan and Volvo in Sweeden. Ford spun off Range Rover (U.K.) to BMW this year. Chrysler is still 20% owned by German car maker Daimler. The Big Three employ a lot of Americans. But so does Honda — 25,000 directly and 100,000 through dealerships. If a Toyota is made with 90% American and Canadian parts vs. a Mustang with only 65% American parts, which car is more American? ” (11/18/08) Link: http://www.nolanchart.com/article5499.html Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
