i've never owned a "foreign" vehicle. that will end next time it is time to buy a new car. i will never again own a gm, dodge or ford. gm or dodge since they sold their souls to the devil. ford is guilty by association...uaw and all that. next car will be a toyota or honda, and next truck will be a toyota or nissan.

I've got a new Corolla and I love it. 34 city/41 highway. Extremely easy to work on too.
ETA: Cash for Clunkers is nothing more than a bailout. I think it is ironic that it is mostly going to foreign car makers. |

From what I could find, it looks like 7 of the 10 are assembled in the USA. Please correct if this information is wrong.
The Top Ten Cash for Clunkers New Cars: 1. Ford Focus (Wayne, MI) 2. Honda Civic (Greensburg, IN) 3. Toyota Corolla (Fremont, CA) 4. Toyota Prius (Japan) 5. Ford Escape (Claycomo, MO) 6. Toyota Camry (Georgetown, KY; Lafyette, IN) 7. Dodge Caliber (Belvidere, IL) 8. Hyundai Elantra (Korea) 9. Honda Fit (Japan) 10. Chevy Cobalt (Lordstown, OH) |

Quoted: Aren't most "Foreign" cars actually made in the USA? A long time ago , US cars stopped being quality and started to become junk. Yeah, most foreign car companies manufacture vehicles inside the US. US cars have seen a pretty significant increase in quality in the past few years. I have a Yukon Denali and it's a great rig. Well built, comfortable, roomy and safe. Quality hasn't been a concern for some years now...they don't make Corvairs, Vegas and Pintos anymore. |

The article says 47% of the transactions under the program were with Ford, Chrysler and GM. The 4 out of 5 number is just for the top five ranking of models that people bought.
Aug. 4 (Bloomberg) –– Four of the top five models sold so far under the U.S. “cash for clunkers” program, aimed at boosting the auto industry, are made by foreign automakers, according to Transportation Department data. Vehicles made by the three largest U.S. automakers –– General Motors Co., Ford and Chrysler Group LLC –– were fewer than half of sales under the program through Aug. 1, according to Transportation Department data obtained yesterday. The companies accounted for 47 percent of the clunkers transactions. |
