because they had to -- for political reasons, a sop* to the gullible.

Actually, the domestic production is a result of import quotas, no?

Hyundai built the largest, state-of-the-art automotive plant in the
world...in Tennessee. You don't do that if you're not serious about
staying here. You don't do something on that scale as a mere sop to the
gullible....

Daimler built not one, but TWO plants here.

As for profits....well, take the case of the German AKG. It's owned
by Harman International. That's Dr. Sydney Harman. You know, of
Harman-Kardon. They also own Soundcraft, a british console manufacturer.
Studer, the Swiss audio manufacturer.

We've all heard of Becker? You know, like the in-dash AM/FM/Shortwave
Mexico receiver? That Becker....a Harman company.

As are more than a dozen US companies, including JBL, Crown, dbx, and
Lexicon.

All the profits, no matter where the products are made, are managed
through a US company, Harman international.
