Disappointed to not see a "big 3" pickup truck on the list. I know Toyota put a lot of thought into approaching the full sized, work truck market in North America.

Very interesting list, CHH. The parts and labor content of automibiles
sold in the US has always fascinated me. I have been an auto enthusiast and
gearhead for many years, and I am even originally from Dearborn, MI. One
of my grandfathers spent all his working life on Detroit assembly lines for the
Big Three.
I think every consumer should buy the best vehicle for himself/herself
regardless of origin. If that is not a so-called domestic, then competition
will force less-desirable brands to make better cars or go out of business.
Even government rescues are only stop-gap measures.
Now that said, I went "domestic" in 04 with my CA-assembled Tacoma.
And the most reliable American-branded car is the Ford Crown Victoria, of
mostly non-American content (assembled in Windsor, ON).
With all due respect, there's only 3 domestics: GM, Ford & Chrysler. Chrysler is on its' way to being foreign owned, though.
