So now Fiat wants "all of you"

Toyotas and Kia are indeed built here, but the profits from those that production and sale still goes back to Japan and Korea. So does the decision to continue to build here.

Being "built in America" is not the same as being American.


Oddly enough, both So. Korea, and Japan are enemies of the State of China, but both are considering manufacturing plants there, with the idea of importing to America, once again, because between Taxes, labor costs and EPA regulation/conformance costs and fees, it's still cheaper to build in the east and export to North America.

There is also so wheeling and dealing about building in South America because of the same benefits, and automobiles can be transported by train even less costly per ton/mile than by ship. Btw, they could still claim that the cars are "Built in America". No one is differentiating which America. ;)
