So many faces for leopards.

  • In b4 the supporters start yelling, “Won’t be a problem for me! I only drive American cars!”

    Narrator: “It did become a problem for them.”

      "I only drive Toyota! “BUILT HERE LIVES HERE”!

      Not even joking the amount of morons who drive Toyota in Texas and obsess over the fact they are made here in Texas as if that makes them an American car? Still a Japanese company my dudes

        Buying a USA domestic brand that was assembled abroad and imported pays USA stock owners, not USA factory workers and local economies.

            Was just making a point to OP about “American” vs “Japanese” companies, who seems to care more about the headquarters’ locations rather than the workers’.

          • All American brands build cars outside of the US. It’s typically the cheaper models that are made elsewhere.

            Ford built the Edge in Canada, dodge built the charger and challenger in Canada, Chevy built some Silverado’s there. Chevy and dodge both built some of their trucks in Mexico too. Shit some Chevy models are made in china and shipped back to the US.

            There’s an easy way to tell what country a car is made in. If the vin starts with 1 4 5 and sometimes 7 it’s made on the US. If it’s 2 it’s made in Canada. If it’s 3 it’s Mexico. Y is china I believe.

      Well, Tesla aside, all manufacturers manufacture some percent of their USDM cars outside of the US. For GM it’s over half. Even Honda, Toyota and Subaru USDM cars are more likely to be US-made than GM. Stellantis and Ford however are in 2nd and third place in Tesla so not TOO bad. Source
