They arent owned by foriegn countries, but by foriegn corperations.
There is always the talk of where the money goes.
Do you buy a Toyota Camry, whichis built in the US but is a car made by a Japanese car company, or do you buy an Impala, built in Canada, but made for an American car company?
What about cross-company cars? Pontiac Vibe is built in the US, and is made for GM, but is a Toyota?
How about the Ford Fusion, Merc Milan, and the Linc Zepher, all are American car companies made here, but the chassis is from the Mazda 6? Same for the Ford 500 and Merc Montego, who has a Volvo chassis.
Or how about different car companies using different engines and transmissiosn such as BMW using GM's 5spd autos for several years?
