Unless Toyota has built another plant, the Toyota is built in Texas. ( Plano) I think the engines are built in Kentucky.You mean that were made in the U.S. I think the F150 is made in the Midwest somewhere.

The southwestern Indiana factory marked the 3-millionth vehicle in a ceremony Tuesday -- a silver Sienna minivan, the Evansville Courier & Press reports via the Associated Press. The plant began making Tundra pickups in 1998.The southwestern Indiana factory marked the 3-millionth vehicle in a ceremony Tuesday -- a silver Sienna minivan, the Evansville Courier & Press reports via the Associated Press.

Toyota and Honda are not only more loyal to the USA but their USA workers are loyal to them....the same cannot be said about the big three.

It's not about loyalty - it's about business.

Japan (and other's) build cars here, because that's where one of their largest market is and it's more cost effective than building in their own countries and then shipping here.

Check out all the other countries Toyota builds vehicles in - Just like General Motors. It's not likely, than many are exported, out of the U.S.

Corporations are obligated, under corporation, to attempt to return maximum profits, for their investors.

Stand in front of the boards of Directors, or shareholders and insist, that every pickup truck sold in the world, be made in the USA, mostly by Union labor.

Good luck.

1) Should I buy a Toyota since the labor came mostly from the US but the majority of company profits go to another country? or 2) Buy a GMC (or other "Amerian brand") where the majority of the components and the assembly are from another country, made by non-US labor, with little of the taxes and spending associated with factories and labor going to the US, but the profits are going to a US company?

I suppose the answer depends upon whether you're part of the 99% or the 1%. As mentioned already by others, shareholders typically don't have loyalties if it means a lower return on their investment today. Given the choice, I'd buy the vehicle assembled locally, though that doesn't mean the parts are made locally. Anyway, I'd feel better about providing a job locally than providing profit locally. But then I'm one of those pinko Canucks. - Grandad
