Look at the top picture, That is sad.
Those are "FACTORY" "FORD" wheels.
On a so called "AMERICAN CAR"
I know the manual trans was also made in china,(+ they are having problems ) not sure about the auto's.
19" 2012 Mustang CS Wheels
 
I can't believe it!!!! FORD is using wheels made in China??????? Say it isn't so! I hope that's all they are putting on the Mustang from China. :confused:
 
With all the money they are making by outsourcing all these products you wont wonder why would they even ask for a bail out, FOOK ford and those who make their products in china, I'm sick of all the Chinese crap coming down the pipe and we keep buying it.
 
Check out the manufacturing stamp of any alloy wheel on any GM product built in the past 15 years....MADE IN CHINA
 
I'll bet if we knew the total percentage of the parts that are made somewhere else, on new "American cars " ,
it would blow our minds,
I'll bet pretty soon someone will make it a legal issue,that manufacturers of american cars can no longer say" Made in America " because such a big portion of the cars parts are not made in america,+ will instead have to say assembled in America or something similar.
Made in china, Assembled in America.
I believe alot of parts are made in Mexico too.
I know alot of replacement parts are.
As i said 1 major part of the drivetrain in the new mustangs is made in China, + i'm sure there is alot more.
Check this out. Faulty Chinese-built transmissions plague new Ford Mustang
 
Well this is interesting,I just gooled : what percentage of the 2011 buick regal is made in america.
Would you believe 21% ? + those #'s are probably decieving,because of fuzzy math trying to make it seem like more of it is built in the U.S. Also some of that 21% is parts from canada because they lump the U.S. + Canada together in those figures.
And do you know where it is Built ? GERMANY !!!!!!!

Wow try this on for size.
A honda accord owner can now call a Buick Regal owner a "Ricer " because the Accord is 80 % american made, The Civic is 70%, but the Buick is only 21 %.

The Corvette at least is 75%.
But the camaro is built in Canada.
 
I believe that the rule is, (but google that just to be sure) that 75% of any single component must be "Made" in USA for it to count toward the percentage of product parts which accumulatively make up the vehicle's domestic content. So, yes there's some fuzzy math involved in it.

Strangely, we are led to believe that this is necessary because of greedy union labor benefit's. And while I don't wish to start another union type thread, if we were to compare the wages and benefit packages of foreign manufacturer's building vehicles domestically the parity would be obvious. But we wouldn't want to have facts get in the way of promoting a globallist agenda. I'm happily surprised that nobody has yet made an anti-American worker statement to blame instead of looking to the real problem. Companies like Honda, and stinking Toyota, have a very efficient, focused and goal oriented management team. Companies like GM had reports printed for years about their overburdensome bureaucracies of multiple management teams of which none were working together. Ford sadly has many, but not As many vestiges of that business model which is an utter failure.

But I believe too that those who truly make the decisions up there in Dearbornistan are scary intellegent and operating with intellegence data that we as the general public aren't privy to or even aware of.

Of course, if we could rein in the bureaucratic power of the EPA to make the US uncompetitive in manufacturing while simultaneously forcing importation duties on foreign made goods and materials coming from countries which do not have our environmental or worker protection policies on a yearly snapshot basis, then I truly believe that we could not only be competitive, but maintain a standard of living and force the rest of the world to implement policies of their own that'd make their localised environment and worker's safer, healthier and better compensated without enduring this current 'race to the bottom' mentality of the psychotic's who are running the global show now.
