Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG fan of Ford (over the last number of years they have really started making GOOD vehicles again) and I'm not trying to say everyone should buy a Toyota.
But...
Did you miss the part where I said the Tundra has 85% Domestic parts as well? Hum, let's see...assembled by American workers, built from American parts that were also manufactured by Americans...seems pretty American to me.
What about the Camry...90%+ domestic parts all manufactured by American workers who get paid to make those parts so they can put food on their table. Assembled by Americans who get paid American dollars and buy American goods with American dollars. And pay taxes with those dollars.
Sorry buddy, times have changed. The manufacture of the Toyota Camry employs more Americans than ANY other car on the road. Just because the CEO of Toyota isn't American doesn't make the car un-American. It's how many Americans that get jobs and money that really count in my book.
While the Domestic manufactures export more jobs and buy more import parts every year to build their vehicles, Toyota is building more factories, employing more Americans and buying more domestic parts every year.
In fact, Toyota has more vehicles out of the top 10 assembled in America with more American parts and of those sold the more units in America than ANY domestic manufacture in 2011.
The 2010 Tundra I purchased put more money in middle American pockets than the F-150 that year and I can sleep easy knowing that.
Open your mind.
