Their goal is to build 80% in the US. That would best Ford that builds more than 20% in Mexico and Canada. GM and Chrysler are less than 70% in the US. |

I did not want to get into manufacturing numbers, percentages, and models. There was no intention to mislead, just an effort to keep my posts short. |

It may even be the identical product but under the brand of a US company 2. At $140 you may not justify buying the products, but at $38 is is a handy tool. Harbor Freight is notorious for having low priced stuff from China. Some good, some not so good. I've bought a few items that were absolutely identical to the high priced brands at other stores. |

Elsewhere, I bought a Chinese hand-held pwr bandsaw for 1/2 of what Milwaukee Elect Tool charges and it works jes as well. Can even use Milwaukee saw blades. My buddy bought a plug-in knibbler from HF fer $38. Last time I priced a pwr knibbler that could cut that heavy a gauge of metal, it was air-driven and cost $400+. My buddy's HF cheapo electric knibbler worked jes fine. The USA is like any other country, in that they will sell you exactly what you want to buy. They will make --and charge!-- exactly what you are willing to pay. Still, this is no guarantee. I've been trying to buy an Accu-Gage M series (made is USA) tire pressure gage. The factory sez they're having problems finding parts. That model has been unavailable for the last 6 mos. I paid $1000 for a German/American designed firearm. Sure, the manufacturing plant is right here in the USA (NH), but that didn't stop the company from having QC issues and selling me a firearm with an out-of-spec part. It was bad enough I hadda return the almost brand-new firearm in pieces, to the factory, for this sole part replacement, but my Chinese-made Bug-O-Salt shotgun ($39) works flawlessly. Let's see. Thirty-nine dollars for a perfectly functioning Chinese toy gun vs one thousand dollars for a serious, yet faulty, out-o-spec, Made in USA, firearm? Apparently, price and/or place of mfr means less than zip. Wait until this oil glut goes away. You'll all be buying Chinese. nb |

Only half of the Hyundais sold in the US are > manufactured in the US. My Hyundai was manufactured in Korea. I was a kid during the "cheap Japanese junk" phase. And it was! They'd recently lost a devastating war. Then they miraculously started producing superior vehicles including motorcycles. I now have a automotive philosophy and ask a question to anyone who wonders why I buy Japanese cars. Would you rather have a car made by a American union worker with all the protections, buffers and benefits provided by their union with full government backing, or would you prefer to buy that car from a Japanese worker who would shame their ancestors if they did a imperfect job? My current Toyota was made in Laredo, TX. I don't think Toyota management there would shame their ancestors or their company. My other car is a Subaru made in Japan. leo |

That was a real looker and it had a wonderfully smooth 4 cylinder engine that was unlike any other. It felt like an electric motor rather than a piston engine. I had a heap of fun with my Mitsubishi-made Dodge Colt. Beats the heck out of me why Mitsubishi never made it big in America. They made some awesome cars. |

Just not terribly well made... the Magna used to be manufactured in Australia (Mitsubishi shut down here some years ago). Not sure if the Lancer was made here or in Japan, but the general build quality wasn't all that great. Your Pajero is a 4X4 and quite a bit better in quality, although I wouldn't like to try to take one where I go in the bush I need a utility/pickup, so a Pajero wouldn't suit me from that perspective anyway. But as a general rugged vehicle, I think they're fine. |

The Japanese assembly process is much better because the mind is fully engaged when they build a car from beginning to end and a worker can stop the line when they spot a problem. > or would you > prefer to buy that car from a Japanese worker who would shame their > ancestors if they did a imperfect job? > My current Toyota was made in Laredo, TX.

Most of those autos are assembled by American workers right here in the USA and many of their parts are made here too. -- sf |

Our steering wheels are on the correct side! Added bonus to that is we can import JDM (Japanese domestic market) cars which also have their steering wheels on the correct side <G>. |
