The top model in the Cars.com annual American-Made Index is a longtime U.S. make that’s part of an international ownership team.
Leave it to a roster of “American-made” cars to best illustrate how globalization touches U.S. consumers.
The auto index tracks vehicles with the most domestically sourced major parts and labor, but increasingly so-called American made vehicles have some international connection. Automobiles were ranked based on five factors: assembly location, parts sourcing , U.S. factory employment relative to sales, and engine and transmission origins.
“Despite a lot of talk around new tariffs and the looming U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement [the updated North American Free Trade Agreement, or Nafta], few of the automakers in the top 15 indicated major manufacturing changes as a result,” said Kelsey Mays, senior editor at Cars.com. “Tariffs or other changes in trade policy could have a major impact on consumers and the auto industry, including rising costs,” Mays said. “It’s no small task to move supply chains, much less alter where a car or its major components are built – both factors that influence AMI rankings. Such actions take years to plan, negotiate and implement.”
