Here are the 20 “most American” vehicles for 2020 and where they were built:
... [+]Perhaps it’s not surprising that in the midst of a national crisis, U.S. consumers are becoming more interested in buying domestic-made products to help bolster the economy. According to a survey conducted by the autos website , nearly 40 percent of consumers say they are more likely to buy an American-made car due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 26 percent feeling it would be"unpatriotic" to buy a non-domestic-built car.
But the problem here is that it’s not always clear what is and what is not an “all American” vehicle. Given parts sourcing and the location of assembly plants, a model carrying an Asian-brand badge may actually have more American content and labor involved than a vehicle coming from a Detroit-based automaker.
To help clear the murky waters in this regard, Cars.com compiles an annual American-Made Index to determine which are the “most American” vehicles sold in the U.S. While the top-20 list is, as one might expect, heavily populated with U.S. branded models—including a trio of Teslas—eight come from Asian automakers. These include the Honda Ridgeline pickup, which is actually rated higher in this regard than what might otherwise be perceived as the poster child for American iron, the Ford F-150.
