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.

Chevrolet Corvette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
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.
