So what are you guys saying? That the ultimate oxymoron is still a Honda/Nissan/Toyota/Mitsubishi/whatever - regardless of where it's built - with an American flag sticker on it? I'm not trying to be funny, and believe me, I will absolutely keep my opinions out of this thread, but just want to understand what you guys are saying. Thanks.

Haha, give me a break Black Sunshine. Americans today "have it so good" because Americans of the past worked hard. America of right now is amazing in its ability to be both the laziest and the most powerful. Don't expect it to last.

Marketing campaign to gain acceptance? More like a military campaign to infiltrate the enemy. Phase 2 divide and conquer

65% is for both the v6 and the GT, the GT is much higher with it's romeo V8, remember the v6 is made in europe.

Hi american friends, in Europe the Mustang is an typical 100% american car...

Sure we know that the 4.0 V6 is build in Germany in Cologne and that the autotranny in a Ford plant in Bordeaux in France but pony car is and allways will be an american speciality.

The only reason that Japan is where it is today is because the United States of America rebuilt their infrastructure and manufacturing capability after WW II. We did this for West Germany and Japan instead of making them U.S. territory's (and eventually U.S. States) which is what any other country would have done!!
