I'll bite....
Define American. Sure the corporate offices may be here but between tax shelters and whatever crooked shit is pulled at the corporate levels how much does that really help our economy?
Toyota's corporate offices may not be here but the truck I bought was built right here in San Antonio Texas where they're providing thousands of jobs for Americans. Same thing for our Kia Optima.
So, you see, in my eyes I DID buy American as I'm supporting REAL American families instead of a faceless corporation that would sell me into slavery to the Mexican Drug Cartel if it meant a $5USD profit.
All that aside, I bought the best value for my money. Period. IMO years of blindly 'Buying American' is what has fueled our rabid race to the bottom since there was zero motivation to innovate. Meanwhile every other country HAD to make a better product for less money to compete and now look.... government bailouts to keep a struggling company afloat when we should have let them fail as reward for decades of mediocrity so that another newer company with a better way to do things could have had their opportunity to shine and show American innovation. Instead backroom deals and stealing billions from the tax payer has kept us right where we are on the world stage. Bravo.
