Its the same with all cars now. Every automotive company has subsidaries that make electronic controls, fluid reservoirs, glass, etc.  Most cars in america are no longer imported. Rather, the automakers have set up base in North America and have started assembling on American soil.  As of now, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki, and Subaru are more American than Japanese.  The automaker with the largest percentage of imported vehicles now is Hyundai (Exotics not included), followed closely by Mitsubishi.


And from what I understand Hyundai just opened up a very large plant in Carolina or somewhere like that.  Its a hard one, you want to buy American but it gets really confusing.

Yeah, they opened one out toward the Charlotte/Gastonia area. Its not huge by any means from what I've seen just passing through. The Volvo plant in Greensboro is way bigger.
