To put it in pespective, Hondas are made in Ohio, Nissans in Tennessee, and I forget where where Toyat's are. The "imports" are *moving* production to the US while the "domestics" are moving it out.

When I interviewed with Honda in 1995 for an engineering job they were doing everything they could to find American parts suppliers but had problems because of Quality concerns.

Sorry to sound like an *ss but the argument over american jobs is meaningless. Look at the VIN numbers for domestics versus imports and notice which ones start with "1".
