Actually, significant numbers of "American" cars are assembled in Canada and Mexico. If you take into account where the components (engine blocks, brakes, electronic components) are manufactured, Fords is no more (or less) an American car than is a Honda. Open up your computer. Where are most of the chips inside fabricated? Offshore. Even Microsoft is contracting offshore for some programming services. More important than the static picture (what is made where) the long term trend is pointed offshore and is accelerating.
