Rollo,
Toyota builds the most American made cars and have a direct influence on hundreds of thousands of American jobs. When I read what you said about the challenger, I did start to chuckle.
Toyota directly employs about the same amount of people in the USA as Chrysler. But that is only scratching the surface. See, since they make the most American made vehicles, they have factories all over the country building parts for their vehicles. From exhaust to cup holders, many of these plants build parts for no other company. Toyota is the reason these plants exist.

This is just one example but you should also know that Ford has a larger marketshare yet toyota has an impact on more American jobs. Another thing you should know about toyota, during 2008 and the massive hit automakers took, while GM was cutting jobs and cutting pay, toyota did not lay a single person off. GM flew to Washington in private jets to lobby billions of tax payers money, toyota took not a dime. You should already know toyota didn't ask or take one penny when the economy crashed, but I doubt you knew anything about them not laying off even when they went into the red in the USA markets.
Toyota dug deep and got thru the years of hardships. They forged thru and stuck with it. They did not abandon Americans or their jobs when the times got tough. They didn't threaten or strong arm the government with a too big to fail campaign. Let me ask you, how could toyota do these things and come thru the dark times to now shining bright while GM could not. GM, your beloved US America company that sells way more cars in the US than toyota, why did they not have any money to get thru the hard times? Why did the is auto workers from Detroit suffer so much? GM was making billions over billions, what happened and why could they not take care of their own when times got tough?
I really don't care what you buy. But your,"I smile when I hear kids say Chrysler".......now that is funny.
Especially when toyota is bringing more jobs to the USA while the big 3 are becoming less and less American made everyday. The big 3 are getting more and more parts from other countries. They are not keeping the money in the USA. Proof is right in front of you. They threaten to shut down instead of loosing a dime, go to congress and get crazy huge bail outs. Yeah, that American money they get doesn't do as much good as you seem to think

Quote:David Muir said that Cars.com advises to use the following formula if you want to know how many American jobs are created from the car you may be considering purchasing.
Are the cars assembled here in America?
The Toyota plant says yes. It takes more than 6000 American workers to build that Camry.
The Ford plant says yes. It took 2250 workers to build that Ford Escape.
How much of the car contains American parts?
Toyota Camry – 80%.
The Ford Escape – 65%
Tip! – It is required on new cars to reveal the percentage of foreign parts and American parts in the car. Look for a sticker that gives this information.
How many cars were sold in a given year?
Toyota Camry – 328,000 cars sold last year.
The Ford Escape – 200,000 cars sold last year.
So using that formula, the car that created the most American jobs would be the Toyota Camry.
