Some very good questioning of the "American Content" of a vehicle have been raised. Although I have nothing against our neighbor to the north, the US isn't Canada, nor vice-versa. If figures can be found at all, it would be a battle to find exact figures of what's US-made or Canadian-made on a vehicle sold in the United States because of the 1992 American Automobile Labeling Act.
