This was posted on the Titan board, but I thought it was pretty interesting the percentage of American made parts used in various "imports" vs. the percentage used in "domestics". Titan used 65% American made, Silverado? 65% also.

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
That is some very interesting info, I was actually surprised to see Ford that high up. I thought most of that was German made.

...For what it's worth, I don't even really care lol...I just thought the facts were interesting that 35% of a Silverado is foreign.
Hey, for the parts that are made here... that money stays here. Sure Nissan jacks the price up on the parts used and it's a wash lol... atleast someone in America is getting paid lol

The people that do get paid in America, get tons of money and boni (LOL). Very little gets dispursed among the blue collar folks. The rest of it gets shipped over seas.

There was a topic on another forum that turned REALLY south last week with a subject like this because of uninformed "flag wavers".
to anyone that cant see this in an economically correct way:
The owners of Nissan, Toyota, etc are all based out of Japan. This means that all the paper pushers, engineers, and chief staff members are in japan. Thats where the primary percentage of profits ends up. Not in the hands of the american people. Another thing, Nissan's biggest sellers only use 55% U.S. made parts. The list also states only the percentage of parts, not which parts. For all we know, they could just be using the nuts, bolts and various small pieces made here.
Dont get me wrong, i believe that competition is the most important part of the vehicle market. Its what drives companies to make the best products. However, anyone who believes that a stronger foreign market in the U.S. does not have a significant negative impact on our economy is sadly mistaken.
