*LIST* American-Made Index’s “Most American” Cars

With plans for a 25% auto tariff on imported cars set to take effect this week, car shoppers may be focusing more on cars made in the U.S. While none fully are, as all cars source at least some parts internationally, some are more “American” than others. A report from Cars.com reveals which ones they are.

• Their annual American-Made Index is here to help by ranking the “most American” cars.
• Cars.com creates the list based on five factors: location of final assembly, percentage of U.S. parts, country of origin for available engines, country of origin for available transmissions and U.S. manufacturing workforce involved.
• So, what is the “most American” car? For the third year in a row, the Tesla Model Y tops the list.

The Top 10 “Most American” Cars, According to the Index

1. Tesla Model Y - assembled in Fremont, California, and Austin, Texas
2. Honda Passport - assembled in Lincoln, Alabama

Talk Back:

• Do you think sales of foreign cars are surging this week before the tariffs hit?
• I fail to see how the tariffs on cars and parts will help us based on this information.
• I think I will drive my car till the wheels fall off at this point.
