You know what I meant.
Fact is, a lot of actual parts are made in Taiwan etc. But thanks for showing up for yet again, one brief moment in time to correct someone.

The point is that Toyota's cannot be considered American made. No matter where the parts are made or the cars are assembled the profits still end up in Japan and helping their economy and not ours and that sucks.

That is true.
My point was of saying this:
All toyota's in america are built here. So it's still supporting american workers.
was to show that by buying a Toyota, you are supporting American workers. While profits do go to the big whigs in Japan, the blue collar workers here are still supported.
The true point of my comment is that I don't think it matters if you drive a toyota / chevy / ford / or dodge, it's all about who wins, and that's chevy and ford.

Unfortunately allot of the people who buy Toyota’s feel the same way you do, that the cars are imported but assembled here so it’s not so bad because they are supporting American workers. But buy purchasing an American made car has a domino affect on the rest of the country financially. Not only does the car company benefit themselves but the textile companies as well (the steel manufactures, the rubber companies, plastic companies etc.) and they keep more American’s employed then Toyota does. Even if those companies import the raw materials they profits still stay here.
