Good point. Car production is global today, so you should buy what you like. I found it bizarre when I read one Kia review on this site. It was either a Forte or an Optima. The reviewer loved the car, and had nothing bad to say about it. However he put 'no' under would you buy a car from this manufacturer.
When I asked why, I was a given a lecture about how he refuses to send any money and tax dollars to South Korea. That's his right, but it seems like it's his loss, because it sounded like he really wanted the car.

Americans. By a factor of 10 to 1. U.S. car companies employ 10 workers for every 1 employed by all foreign manufacturers combined (including German and British cars). And with Ford bringing production of the Fusion back to the U.S., GM taking over as the largest car company on Earth once more, and Chrysler opening several new plants in the U.S., that figure will no doubt soon increase to more like 15 to 1.
Of course people are free to buy whatever they choose, but to use false arguments to justify hurting U.S. workers is a practice that needs to be pointed out.

People in Canada don't have this mentality: "Buy Canadian". We see something we like, it's made well; we buy it. My Cobalt was produced in Lordstown Ohio, but you don't hear me complaining I didn't buy a Canadian made car.
