Those of you with newer Camry's and Corolla's drive a domestic

Neat information for ignorant people who think the reason their newish "Toyonda" is so awesome is because it is built in Japan with Japanese parts.

That said, my next car will be a Honda S2000, 100% Japanese and built in Suzuka.

mazda is controlled by ford. i don't think ford is even the majority owner of mazda.

Both. I demand a new poll option. And make it snappy. Because I'm beginning to feel a bit offended at your blatant discrimination against those in both categories at the same time. Plus my lawyer is bored.

 

[JDub02]

According to wikipedia, Ford controls 35% of Mazda.

my 2007 honda accord SE final assembly point was japan.

 

[AgentJean]

Japanese owned company, built by ununionized American labor.

1993 Mazda 626. Although people usually think of Mazda as foreign, it's mostly domestic I believe. Even though it is old I think it's more domestic than foreign. It MAYBE was designed in Japan, but has a a UAW (or some other American auto union) sticker on it for assembly/production. It was built in the US I believe, since the VIN starts with a 1J. I think Japan-built ones start with 4? Or maybe it was made in Mexico, which might start with a 1 anyway, but correct me here.

But it has a weak-ass Japanese rear defroster!

My '99 Buick Regal GS was made in Canada.

 

[zerocool84]

My car is 84% U.S/Canadian Parts. My engine was made in Mexico and Transmission was made in U.S. and the final assembly was in Belvidere, Ill and my car is a Domestic

 

[vi edit]

Nissan Frontier - built in TN.

 

[Riverhound777]

Mazda 3. Built in Hiroshima, Japan.

 

[Sluggo]

1999 Chevrolet

I really dont give a crap where it was assembled or where it's parts came from. It's paid for and it starts every day, good enough for me.
