My 2012 Accord is built in Ohio with American and Japanese parts, but everyone still calls it a Japanese car. My 2000 F 150 is made in America, but the engine is built in Canada and I found "Made in Mexico" on the rear leaf springs. That's called an American truck. Now I have been told my Harley Davidson has Japanese parts on it. I hope not. The only pure design I have is my Bugeye and my BN2. Conceived, built and parts sourced from one country. That's why you can say, "they don't make 'em like that anymore."Mike MacLean

So I have a an "American" car (Jaguar -
owned by Ford at the time) made in England, I still think its
British, as is my Japanese car (Honda SiR) made in England (where
my MGB body came from). Who gives a 'flying puck'? (note CDN
reference to keep tone civil). But to be honest, not all Minis
come from Blighty, the ones on steroids are made in Austria.
And as for 'American cars', many are now made in Mexico, or
Canaada, does that devalue the "Detroit dinosaur" worse than it
already is?
There really is no 'dark side' only 'butter side down', its all
toast - really.
Cheers,
Martyn

The German car is made in England but owned by a Germany
company.
