Either way, it's silly to find an "American" car. You want an American muscle Camaro/Firebird? You gotta goto Canada to find its assembly plant. 
America did this to itself. The UAW has destroyed the American car companies. Can't wait to see Toyota over-take GM for the #1 spot.
start rant
don't even get me started on the UAW. What a piece of SH!T they are!!! If you've got a problem with the big 3's quality, it's 90% UAW and 10% company. Those lazy [censored] are useless bums. Although I'm generalizing (there are some very responsible UAW workers), the fact remains that the UAW is doing more harm to the workers than good. We'll see how happy the employees are when the UAW has ran the big 3 into the ground. I work for a supplier and have worked for one of the big 3 in the past, so I'm coming from experience.
I've seen UAW line workers complain about having to walk ten paces at their post when another guy only has to walk 9  , and in the end what does the big 3 do... they go back to the supplier and tell them to redesign the part (very expensive). I could tell of many more such instances, but ya'll get the point.
