Last time I checked, Canada was in North AMERICA. Mexico is in Central AMERICA. I do believe that would make all of those car AMERICAN, especially considering that they were designed by AMERICANS, much unlike the Camry, which won't be the the entrant into Nascar, rather the Avalon.
Also, the 4th-gen Camaros were built in Canada, so I guess that makes them flat-out Imports huh? So I guess knowing that, everyone will stop seeing it as a domestic then right?
Whatever. The "oh it's made in XXXXXland" argument is downright wrong if the car wasn't designed and intended for a core customer base in its country of manufacture. The Camry was designed for Japan, with a side market in every nation of the world, whereas the rest are SOLELY designed for the USA. You won't see a Fusion like ours in Japan.
Whoa, there hot shot. No need to start twirling pistols here. I was just pointing out with some irony & humour that the Camry is the only one in the series (which, Nextel Cup, IIRC, doesn't have any venues in Canada or Mexico this or next year, and its major market is the US, no?) that's made in the United States.
And if you're right and it's actually the Avalon tube-framed jalopy that'll be out there banging it around with the rest of the rolling billboards, then Toyota and NASCAR have some updating to do on their websites, no? http://www.toyota.com/motorsports/nextel/news.html
