What does “Made in America” mean, especially in today’s automobile industry?
Darrell Waltrip, the Fox Sports commentator and retired Nascar champion, recently offered a salient observation about the arrival of Toyota this year in the stock car racing series. Previously, the series has been the playground of “American” manufacturers.
“Of all the cars out there on the track today,” Waltrip said at a recent race, “the Dodge Charger, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Ford Fusion, the Toyota Camry is the only one that’s made in America.” (Full disclosure: Darrell Waltrip’s business relationship with Toyota has included his own edition of the Tundra pickup.)
Waltrip’s statement is true enough, though.
