There’s none of that. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. An analogy like Toyota is still an import and is a Japanese brand.

An HP manufactured in China is still an American product in my opinion. The development and engineering that went into it happened in the US. The pieces were merely assembled in China. That seems very similar to the automotive case to me. It’s kind of like assembling IKEA furniture at your house. If you assemble the pieces in the US, does that make IKEA a US company? No, the parts & everything about it except the assembly happened outside the US.

It’s not complicated at all. I can look at most cars and know if a foreign car. Lastly I pick the car and buy my favorite. It doesn’t get overly cerebral. As I mentioned before, ask for the sales manager in a new car dealership if unsure. Honda, Toyota, Nissan etc if you do not know. They can tell you. Then you know.

Don't muddy the waters by talking about specific models. We're talking about COMPANIES here, not MODELS. Ford is an American company. The fact that it makes MODELS in Europe, for the European market, does not change that.
