Just for everyones info Ford owns/ owns stock in the following companies: Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, and Aston Martin.

GM cars and trucks are sold under the following brands: Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, Geo, Hummer, Saab, Opel, Vauxhall and Holden.

DaimlerChrysler: Chrysler, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Setra, Frieghtliner, Sterling, Western Star Trucks, Jeep, Smart, and Maybach.

All common, mass produced, sold in the US automakers also have factories in the US. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that does not is Kia.

So given the above info, what really is an import or domestic now a days???

I enjoy driving muscle imports just as much as I do muscle domestics for different reasons. If I want to go screaming down a twisty back road, give me a quick, agile sport compact. If I want to go fast in a straight line give me a domestic muscle car. (Of course if I want to go flying down a twisty, curvey road I'd want to be on a bike anyway ) I'm not saying that there are no domestic twisty curvey type cars but most of them are out of financial reach of most young adults. Everyone has their prefrences. I personally despise GM but I won't hold it against any GM owners. They make some damn nice rides I just would never own one. Same with Honda.

I'm not trying to make anyone mad but this is how I look at it. There is not a defined import/domestic line anymore. Most use each others parts and are sold beside each other.

Have a good one and enjoy driving! No matter what it is. (Except maybe a Yugo, not much enjoyment there. Whoever heard of a hi-po Yugo??)
