'What Makes A Car American?' by CNN.com

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/12/american.cars/index.html

The above article says it all - FOREIGN automakers create more jobs for America than it's domestic competitors.

Detroit has farmed out almost every piece of car manufacturing it can to other countries to shave a buck off production costs - and still produces by far the most unreliable and overpriced piece of machinery you can buy. Toyota, for example, has plants that assemble and build almost ENTIRE VEHICLES here in the United States alone.

So the next time you think you are buying a Detroit 'American' product - think again. You might just be sending your money overseas faster than you think. Still want to bail out Detroit?
