Razors Edge ★ Posted March 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2022 ...between a German car assembled in SC/Alabama vs a Japanese car assembled in Ohio/Tennessee vs an American car assembled in Ontario/Mexico? If shopping for a midsize SUV, does a Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, or a Chevy Equinox seem more or less "American"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a sticker from a 2022 Malibu. Seems "more" American Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 8, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 8, 2022 There have been various studies on how often cars need repairs based on where they are built. The Honda Fit I got was built in Japan. which had slightly better service ratings than the Fits built elsewhere in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted March 8, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2022 I would take a Japanese built car over N. American any day. Quality control and fit/finish are superior. My wife and daughter have the same year and model of the Rav4, one built in Japan and one built in Canada. Both good but the Japanese build is just better detailed.

My Accord was assembled in Ohio, but don't know if I had a Japan-assembled option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
