American assembled.

IIRC - there are no cars with made with 100% American parts and or only sourced from American raw materials.

Toyota built my car in Georgetown, KY from parts made in the US and the engines are built in the factory next door to the assembly lines. Many of my high school classmates back in the Dark Ages opened that factory. But you are correct, some parts may be imported.

You mean "quite" don't you?

BTW, your webpage is 4 model years out of date. Most of those imported parts are from Canada and Mexico, where there should be no tariffs if they were fair. You will notice they don't name the other countries where they come from.

Ya sorry on my phone.

What it shows and it’s not much different now. Is that all cars have imported parts and / or raw materials.

There is no 100% US sourced only car.

What usually happens when domestic products are protected by tariffs is that their price rises due to lack of foreign competition.

Yeah, maybe the taillights, but most of the major components are made in their factories, The fact remains that the car is not shipped here from Japan in pieces and assembled here.

I said it wasn’t 100% sourced in the US. Toyota used imported parts and raw materials that come from imports.
