Not quite right, DP. The products you mention above are mostly ASSEMBLED
in America. Typically, the higher tech, higher 'cost of assembly' items
(engines, trannies) are made in their home country.
Oh, don't forget that the profit from your items above flow right to
Germany, Korea and Japan, not here. They only built a few plants here
because they had to -- for political reasons, a sop* to the gullible.
* From the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
sop: a conciliatory or propitiatory bribe, gift, or gesture
