There are more people out of work, irregardless of where cars are shipped. I think no one feels that manufacturing and employment are at their highest solid growth. If I buy another Japanese brand, it will be used and pre 1995 vs a 2012, as I am tired of engine and transmission replacement issues with our home at low mileage ones, bought new.

I agree with this comment, Australia was getting Accords and Civics made in Maryland USA, and also the Euro model Accords and Civics made in Swindon UK.

Just because cars are assembled here, does not mean we keep the money here. A bit of it may hire some people who lost jobs from the thousands here before with multiple shifts. Add the tax concessions by the states, and it's just throwing a bone. Sure it's great that some are working. In the end we all pay, and the quality of life keeps diminishing. It's great some states got some work back. But look at the country as a whole. Thousands of jobs are going away daily, so it does strike a nerve when you gloat over an import. I guess their corporate based headquarters are enjoying the bulk of the profits on each vehicle sold though.
