Yes Mazda is completely owned by Ford. Mazda's HQ are now in Irvine, CA. Can you get much more American?

What about a Toyota? Built in America (most models), designed in America, is it American? The workers everyone seems so concerned about are supported right here in the USA. Bottom line profit dollar (which isn't as much as you may think) goes to Japan, but is that a bad thing when the bread and butter money stays here?

Is it different when an American company sources assembly, components, or complete products from overseas? The workers here aren't supported, but the executives are.

I guess the point is, I will buy what seems like the best value. I really want it to be an American product, but if America can't be competitive, they will soon learn to be.
