That's because of the trade protectionism that gives them an incentive to manufacture here in the states. Nissans made in Tennessee, Toyotas made in California... The question of whether the Ford Ranger is "really" a Mazda vs. whether a Mazda Bx000 is "really" a Ford may just come down to which factory it's made in.
