No, there are none that I like anyway. I'm a GM guy and have 3. I have never been let down by a GM. All vehicles may have parts from different countries, but the money paid for American cars stays in America.

I think the fact that everyone is saying that even if you bought a American car the parts are from another country,and the moneystill filters into the US from the sellers delivery drivers insurance petrol repairs.
And as we all know tv's dvd players clothes etc are all made abroad even if it has a local label stiched in.
I had this the other day an old lady came over to me and said i love your car,what is it .I told her and said it was an Japanese import she said we never buy Japanese after the War.
Then her Japanese made phone rung.
If you can stay loyal to your country then fair enough and good for you but it is hard in any country.

Support American companies by not buying a foreign car?
I though American cars were foreign (though crap compared to what Europe, Japan and Korea put out).

Of course. I buy the best vehicle I can for the money.
American-made cars do not compete in quality and MPG.
It is really a moot point anymore since most cars have international components-some made or installed in US and some in other countries.
"Buy American" is a racket for Unions to get richer.
I buy American-made things when I can. I refuse to buy from China, since their stuff is mostly garage-sale junk.
I buy mostly used designer-label clothes.
We live in a global economy. Get over it.

I personally drive a Chevy, but my girl friend drives a Honda. I helped her pick it. I say, pick a car based on your needs, wants and budget. About the only foreign cars I would never again buy are Kia and Hyundai, but then again, I would again buy a Dodge/Chrysler...
But I guess that it is all a matter of preference

I owned a VW Karman Ghia in 68. I owned TWO Fiat 500's (500cc engine) in 73-75 and a Fiat 128 in 75-77. My wife owned a VW bug in 73-73. We have owned 3 Nissan's. I have owned 8 Japanese motorcycles. We have 2 Plymouth Voyager vans. By the way, Honda is made in the USA by AMERICANS. Nissan is made in the USA by AMERICANS. Didn't know that, did ya? Oh, and HARLEY DAVIDSON? Shipmate of mine bought a repair part, took it out of the box and guess where it was made. NOPE! NOT USA..but in TAIWAN! FORD? Parts in Mexico and Canada. TRY to find things made in the USA...look at your clothing (TAIWAN, PANAMA, HAITI, TRINIDAD, CHINA, SINGAPORE...need I go on?) How about your electronic equipment.
When EVERYTHING YOU own is made in USA..then say something to us about BUYING AMERICAN. Good luck!

I would if it's a good car. I've driven Japanese cars, European cars, and also American cars. No bias, life is too short - I wanna try different type of cars when I have chance.

Just about EVERY car or truck on the road is made with "globaly supplied" parts anyway. There is no such thing as a truely American made vehicle anymore.

I have a VW Beetle and it's A NIGHTMARE! I swear it is posessed by the devil. EVERYONE -- NEVER BUY A BEETLE! They are made in Mexico too. I never even knew that. Worst car ever. I should have gotten a Cobalt.
