I did some work at a Toyota plant in mississippi. They were using a mix of US based product suppliers and international including their own. The cool thing was that they were building a steel plant next door for the raw material supply. The chassis and sheetmetal are now american made with american steel. Engines and transmissions were made in various other US based plants as well. Employees were 90% american. Aside from the company itself, one could argue and compare that the “american” car you bought is just as “import” as your ford, dodge etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-are-some-common-misconceptions/267359)._
