Just because that new toyota you bought says built in america... doesnt mean it was made here. What it should really say is assembled in america. The motor, transmission and all other major components are built overseas and they use a combination of robots and american workers to put the parts together into a car. Saves them the extra tax of importing a car and they get to say "made in america." The majority of the man/hours to make the car are used in forigen countries and all of the R/D costs are spent outside of our boarders too.

Atleast that is how I understand it. If im wrong, please inform me.
