Neat infographic/article in Car and Driver
Article: Domestic Bliss
I'll save the massive post and not include the image.
The article on the website is actually a more enjoyable format than the magazine format (which a PDF of the original article is also available on the site, btw). The map background of the pdf does serve the intended "map" concept a bit better, can hardly tell what's going on in the small map on the website.
I'm happy to see the two Jeeps (and 1 Dodge on the same platform) built here in Toledo are roughly 80% American.
Car and Driver said:Contrary to popular belief, America still builds carsa lot of them. Nearly 8 million cars and trucks came out of  U.S. plants last year. Step back and look at the entire North American continent, and production adds up to more than 12 million units. But even if a vehicle is made by an American company by American workers, its not necessarily an American car, at least according to our government. By Uncle Sams reckoning, if  75 percent (by value) or more of a cars parts come from the U.S. or Canada, its considered a domestic product; less than that, and its not. The maps here tell you not only where your North Americanmade car is built, but just how American it really is.
