Your first sentence answered the question. Toyota is a Japanese based company. That's an import. If you are turning a wrench here, it's still an import where most of the profit returns to the parent based company. Try taking the emblem out of the grille and putting an American flag in it. Doesn't matter does it? It's an import. Some factories do final assembly in other countries as it's not a completed product to save on taxes. Follow where the bulk of the profits go and where corporate is. But it seems most do not get this. They see a few working on an assembly line (not massive #s anymore) for a foreign entity who stands to get the lion share of the profits out of a country. Well some working is better than the thousands downsized I guess. The unemployment figures just keep going the wrong direction.
