Default GM is now China Motors

This is what happens when a all american company gets taken over by the government.

This is issued every year, I can't find the one with the 3/4 ton trucks though.

You'll have to scroll pretty far down to get to the dodge, gmc and Chevy pickups and yukons/tahoes.

I like how the tundra is up top and how the Avalon has 80% US parts vs Fords Fusion having half of that.

Well it did become government motors. We just thought it was going to US government.

Back to the list of US made cars and trucks. While I don't know I do suspect that the Ford Super Duty is probably very close to be the same percentage as the Expedition since it is on a Super Duty chassis and they are built in the same Kentucky plant

At least we are paying Americans to assemble. Because I don't even think Americans are making the parts for "American made" vehicles.

General Motors is becoming China Motors - YouTube
This is what happens when unions force companies to pay a high school drop out $80 an hour to put wheels on a car.

I have always been a big chevy fan sad to see this happen. I drive a 94 ext cab with over 200k on the original motor and still runs flawless. When I buy a new 1/2 ton it will be a ford though. You can really see how much cheaper the 07 and newer silverado is made. Take the seats for example my grandpaw has a 08 and his seats are already worn bad. The seats in my 94 have no tears and feels like a lay z boy.

Around the 2005-2006 time period of GM body style change is when they went to crap, as stated before you can look at just a few interior parts and notice quickly... I will buy Ford or Toyota next time around

Yep, Toyotas are more 'American' than Fords and Chevys


and I am pretty sure Ford Motors took some government money as well

Sure did. The only thing Ford didn't do was declare bankruptcy.
