Even though some aspects of your statements aren't completely false, I think you should read this article:

That actually was a good read. Thanks for the research I never really had a reason to. After reading that it doesn't change my viewpoint. In fact it backs me up.
I think I said, everything is now being made in Mexico. American cars aren't American anymore, even imports are made in Mexico.
And the article provides "proof" :
That trend could continue. In the 2010 model year, the country's top 20 best-sellers averaged a domestic parts content rating of 62 percent. For the 2011 model year, the top 20 averaged 55 percent. Forthcoming models liketheredesigned 2012 Ford Focus — a poster car for Ford's global One Ford strategy— havea domestic parts content rating of just 40 percent.
That's decreasing more and more, meaning Mexico is increasing its percentages.
Why you ask?
I'll go to the article again :
In 2010, Canadian autoworkers averaged $38.77 an hour in U.S. dollars, including benefits. TheirU.S. counterparts averaged $33.46. Mexican autoworkers, in contrast, made just $3.75 an hour, IHS Automotive found.
So I guess there are "american" cars that are made with "75% assembly in America" even by using imported parts. And there are "imports" that are made mostly in their respected country. But the idea is everything is decreasing and moving to it all being Mexican cars. LOL
