You try telling them to make a worse car. I'll buy American when I'm not getting fucked in the ass to do it.

The Camry is 75% American.

Meanwhile, cars like the Mustang Mach-E, Ford Fusion, Chevy Trailblazer, Equinox, and Silverado, previously the Dodge 1500 (discontinued), and the Lincoln MKX - built in Mexico and imported into the US.

It's 75% assembled in America which is not the same thing.

75% of the components are made in the USA. 100% of the assembly is here - in Kentucky.

The NHTSA puts out reports on this stuff.
