Everything chevy is made in North America. good way to tell is to look in the door jamb of the vehicle(if GM) and it will tell you whether it was made in Canada or America. Most all chevys are made in Michigan or Texas.

That what I used to think about GM, although you're right on the continent I just bought my wife an HHR and it was made in Mexico. My truck in Canada. Seems like everything is getting outsourced and it getting hard to buy a vehicle made in this country. I'm aware of the door tag but you cant go around opening every door on the lot - lol. I just was wondering if there was a site anyone was aware of that listed where vehicles are made and what percentage of part content is made in what countries.

The first number on the vin tells you were it was built.
1 = U.S. built
2=canadian built
3=mexico built

Its not uncommon at all for someone to go to a carlot and ask for an american made vehicle. Most of the time they will get a domestic make, but not a domestically assembled car.... It will probably throw a salesman for a loop if you tell him you want an American made Chevy. lol

Also, here lately I have been seeing some with 5 as the first number in the VIN. 5 is also USA built, but less than 50% USA made parts (at least that is what I was told).

Most of them are made from less than 50% American parts. Its just that the american parts tend to be the bigger parts (frame, body, windsheilds, engine block. Most of the plastic odds and ends, trim peices, and interior controls are imported.

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.
