The fact that you're framing this question as foreign and domestic tells me all I need to know.  GM is domestic and is a commie organization - and so are the other union shops.  Fuck them.

Unlike the "Big 3"?  Who do you suppose takes the profit, if any, out of a publicly traded company?
I rest well enough knowing that I support the UAW as little as possible with our American made Titan
and Honda Odyssey.  I hate Fords and have ever since I owned one in the mid-90's, the only one I
ever had.  I like GM well enough, but won't buy one given the screwing bondholders and shareholders
were given simply to benefit the UAW and a bunch of blue states.

That said, I'm willing to consider a FIAT owned Ram once I can see the new small block diesel and get
a sense of what sort of mileage it will get.

That's touching and all, but Toyota will never be considered a domestic company until its headquarters are based in the USA.

Ford has new plants and new investments in India, China, Thailand, and Canada.

Profits overseas tend to stay there because the US taxes the hell out of overseas profits.



My Acura's transmission was made in Japan, EVERYTHING else was made in the US and the car was assembled here.



So I suppose the 'keep the profits in the US' crowd are OK with GM and Chrysler but not Acura, right?



Get over it, cars are an international business, where the headquarters is doesn't mean anything.

I guess all I can say is the fucking foreign badged vehicle owners are totally clueless when it comes to domestic economics, or any economics for that matter when it comes to the bottom line.
And for Christ sake, the clueless replies in this thread back me up!

Are you daft?

The entire point in saying (what you originally quoted) "omg but my tundra is more american than your ram" is to clarify that it does not matter where your vehicle was built, what matters in the poll options is who the company is and where they are headquartered.

So the company paying Mexican workers who take home a paycheck in Mexico doesn't matter, versus American workers taking home a paycheck in America?

Publicly traded companies.



And do you think the net profits of these companies are greater than the amount of money they spend on labor and infrastructure in this country?  You hit the nail on the head with the term 'clueless'.

...because none of the money from my Honda Accord went to, say, the American workers who assembled the car? And the high percentage of American content of the car (meaning all the bits used to assemble it...and the Honda Accord has more American content in it than most of the "domestics" that are rivals) didn't end up paying, say, the American workers and companies who manufactured all the parts?

Talk about not grasping economics, pal...you're the poster child.
