Most interesting. My focus = 50% US/Canuck content. Interesting, because Engine, transmission, USA. final assembly USA.

They show the engine and transmission for the Toyota Sienna as being made in Germany, which is incorrect. The engine and transmission for the Sienna are both made in West Virginia.

There are 2 engines - a 4 and a 6. Does toyota even have an engine plant in Germany?

They got my Camry right. 80% American, with both the engine and transmission produced in the US, and the vehicle at TMMK.

Seems like they only show states where final assembly is made. The 1ZZ-FE engine in my old Corolla was made in Bullalo, WV, also, but that state doesn't even show up.

I saw that too, I'm assuming the transmission and engine are made in Kentucky at TMMK.
Our beater Nissan Quest was built at Ford's Avon Lake, OH plant with the powertrain being made in Tennessee(engine) and Japan(transmission).

They need to check thier sources.

The Mitsubishi Raider is listed as 1% "more American" than the nearly identical Dodge Dakota. They also list the same transmission as being sourced from Brazil on one and Germany on the other.

The Ford Duratec in my Mazda is listed as "Japanese" in spite of the FoMoCo stampings on numerous parts. Apparently Cleveland, Ohio is part of Japan now.

''

My guess on the raider is slightly different interior, and exterior trim pieces


Dunno about your Mazda.
