Toyota = Made in America. Thats funny.

Thats probably the biggest marketing scam going in the automotive world right now. Lets think about this.


#1 The cars & trucks that they claim are "built" in the USA, are only assembled here. Most of the parts are outsourced and then screwed together here.

#2 Have you seen a automobile assembly line? How many people do you see compared to robots? The assmbly of cars is mostly automated with some components being installed by hand and the occasional QC check.

#3 ALL of their research, development & engineering is done in Japan.

#4 Reguardless of the jobs that are created here by Toyota, all of the profits go overseas.


I know the big 3 outsource alot of their parts to Mexico, but the profits stay here. Plus, the big 3 employ MANY more americans from the top of the company ladder down to the bottom.
