If any of our governmental agencies ever bought vehicles from a Japanese company, I'd be on the phone to my elected representatives the second I found out about it DEMANDING that my tax dollars go to OUR OWN INDUSTRY. That is NOT a matter of "patriotism", it is a matter of my very hard-earned tax dollars being spent to enrich industries in other countries. That is just poor business. The quickest way any of my congressmen or other elected representatives can lose my vote is by hurting American industry, especially at a time like this.

"Don't the 300, Charger, and Challenger fit into that category??"
No they do not - they may be rear wheel drive, but they are not body on frame. Virtually everything is uni-body nowadays.
