And if you want an American car, take a look at many of the models made by Nissan, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai and soon to be, Kia, and probably others. Oh, and beware of the "American" cars made in Mexico and Canada.
The point is, it is impossible to do what you say.

I understand that but there has to be a better balance... Do you not agree or do you simply ignore the current US trade deficit? I do not embrace the "protectionism" concept but it seems our exports are sliding further and further, improving only slightly during the times of weakening dollar while the imports are at an all time high? As far as cars, I've owned all of the above you mentioned at one time or another except KIA. The latest being a BMW made in South Carolina. I've also made American cars that were made over seas.
