What clown believes that if the car is assembled in Japan, that means all the parts for the car are fabricated in Japan?!?!?



Same goes for German, USA, Korea...et al.

and I agree with the comment.

It's the case even on my "American" car.

Engine is hecho en Mexico at a Chevy plant.
Stock wheels are made in Taiwan.
The big Brembos and the brake rotors? Made in Italy.
I could go on.....

Reminds me of hearing how upset the Americans were that a Toyota Tundra pulled the american shuttle to rest.

Yet..it was built by Americans.

I'm more pissed our manned space program is non-existent and we're hitch-hiking with the Russians.

And on another note, where did the factory machines and tooling (that are in China) come from?

Surprisingly, the US in many cases.

Could very well be the other way around too. I've worked for a couple major auto parts suppliers and I'd say out of all their stamping dies, at least half were from Korea or China.

Lots of high quality stuff coming out of China now. They had to raise the bar, in part because the stuff they were manufacturing before was so bad.

People forget that products made in Japan were once considered inferior as well.
