1. Very cool tool. Sure to settle lots of ..disagreements.
I have read a lot of comments, many erroneous, about where cars are made.
thanks for this.

6. What the link doesn't tell you
I'm willing to bet that many of the parts they use to assemble are coming in from out of the country. Living near Anderson, IN, I know that GM has moved all of the former parts suppliers there to foreign shores.

I am glad to see cars that are assembled in the U.S., though, thanks for the link!
