Wow, almost 4 years to make your first post 
Sorry, "assembly" in the US does not make it an "all American" product. I'd say 80-90% of the components from the tires to the steering wheel in ALL automobiles are made in China or Mexico.
As long as we continue to price ourselves out of the market and demand everything for the cheapest possible price a lot more stuff will be made offshore. I'm sorry, there's nothing sacred about welding, pipefitting, mecahnics or electricians. You give value for the dollars that you demand or you will be replaced. Simple as that. I'm sure we'd all like to support American made products but again as long as we keep wanting these things for as cheap as possible things are gonna keep getting sourced out of the USA. Look at the e-Autogrilles bumpers there is a thread several hundred pages long of people buying these knock off bumpers. People are always going to want the best product at the best price that's just how things work.
Stop and take a look at the jeans, shirt, sock or even the gitch your wearing bet it's all not made in the USA. Your computer that you are using to post, your iphone, ipad, smartphone all not made in the USA. The furniture in your house, the dishes you eat off, I could go on and on but I think you get the point.
Bottom line I think we'd all want to support goods made in Canada and the USA but if that's the case we can't bitch about how much more it cost to buy the products locally.
