American Muscle...Made in Canada.

cab83_750 · 12-01-2009, 08:23 PM

Would "assembled" be considered "made?". Isn't a lot of Japanese branded vehicles assembled in America?

Made in America is beginning to be a very slippery slope.

On the other hand, I vote for buying American made.

P.s.

Should Camaro be relabeled Camara eh!

assembled and made do not mean the same.

Even the vette plant is in canada. I saw a documentary on corvettes in the speed channel. More american cars are built in canada, mexico germany and australia. Its so stupid. People don't realize that the auto industry is a world market now. So there's no longer any patriotism in making cars anymore. The only thing we can thank america for is taking an original opel car and cheapening the interior,rims and treatments to the point of disgust.
By the way. Nissan has a huge plant in alabama n the produce quite a few models there. I believe most infiniti's are built here as well. Between nissan honda and toyota they have more plants here than GM does. Pathetic

Huh? The Corvette is made in Bowling Green Kentucky.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been manufactured in six generations since 1953 by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. The first Corvette was designed by Harley Earl and named by Myron Scott after the ship of the same name. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, it is currently built at a GM assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The National Corvette Museum and annual National Corvette Homecoming, also located in Bowling Green, celebrate the car's world-wide history.

I believe Nissan makes the Ultima and Maxima there. Probably whatever cars are the same platform as those with Infiniti as well.

Smart business to have the plant here for the better-selling cars. Still, the GTR and Z are MIJ. In a sense, that says they don't trust the US to make the higher-end stuff. =/

Even China is putting out good quality stuff on the cheap.

From a manufacturing perspective, the US is screwed...

Even from the services side of things - short of billy-bob making house calls, the growing trend is to outsource phone-based-services - india, france, phillipines...

Perhaps you meant Hyundai. They built a large plant in Montgomery, AL to build the Sonata, and maybe the Santa Fe. I think Nissan has plants in TN.

Yeah... that's it. The nissans are in smyrna, tennessee.
Hyundai in alabama. Lol the heart of america is filled with asian import factories. Lol

Yes sir... my bad. I checked and it is built un KY. The show I saw did roll one out from a canadian plant though. But maybe it was rolled out as a GM pride thing. Either way I found an interesting article on the global car market.

I just wanna see more sports cars. I want honda to stop the wackness n make a true rwd sport COUPE.
I want them to put a worthy interior in the camaro. I want mustang to kill the live axle n step into century 21. I want nissan to bring back the silvia. I want toyota to bring the FT-86. I like it! Alota h8rs on it! But its carrying a torch that needs to be carried.
Plus I want the sports cars we have already. I want bimmer to build cars that look the part as well as play the part. I love sports cars, muscle cars, and performance cars. I'm tired of 4door sports cars, sport crossovers, sport utility vehicles! I'm sick of cars with the word sport and no sport in the way it drives.
Lastly I want hyundai's genesis to have a competitive auto tranny to nissan and volkswagen. That's the only thing holding back hyundai automatic sports cars. The tranny is weak in them.

whenever I see an "S" stamped onto the end of whatever model car it is, I just chuckle a little. Unless it's a Porsche Turbo S.

My kids will point it out on an RSX or Corolla and I will just say it stands for "Slow"
