"For the most part?" In the case of American cars, I mean?
I've seen a number of discussions about whether a certain car
is/is not American/Japanese/whatever. There's always somebody
confusing the issue by saying, "B-but the factory is in the
U.S., so by definition, that Toyota/Honda/whatever is an Amer-
ican car!"
No so fast, sez I. Two factors outweigh that. One, if the parts
(or a majority of the parts) are made in Japan and are only as-
sembled into a finished car in the U.S., then as far as I can see,
that makes it a Japanese car. And even more fundamentally, if the
company (say, Toyota) is Japanese, and the profits from these cars
are going to Japan, that *really* makes those cars Japanese.
