Jeep Wrangler is still in the list. I was surprised at how many Japanese cars were there too.

I hate lists that are spread across ten pages or so. How in the world are you supposed to compare the information at a glance? For those who are interested here's the pertinent info (rank, vehicle, U.S. parts):

1. Toyota Camry, 80%
2. Honda Accord, 75%
3. Ford Escape, 90% (doesn't include hybrid)
4. Ford Focus, 90%
5. Chevy Malibu (oops, "Chevrolet"), 75%
6. Honda Odyssey, 75%
7. Dodge Ram 1500 Quad and Crew Cab, 76%
8. Toyota Tundra, 80%
9. Jeep Wrangler, 79%
10. Toyota Sienna, 85%

The rankings include where manufactured, U.S. parts content, and sales (since higher sales boost American employment).

The Wrangler has gone down quite a bit in a couple years, the '07 Rubis had high 80% range.
