UNLESS South Carolina seceded from the Union today and I didn’t get the memo.

I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Well, I guess I need to get my SC passport before I get my SC drivers license.

I’m pretty sure it’s debatable in some residents’ minds.

Not sure it’s something to be proud of though. I mean, look at it.

According to the old guy driving the Canadian or Mexican or european made Buick at the tire shop, it doesn’t matter, because all the profit goes back to the home country and their engineers and designers and ceos...

I’m glad the suppliers of components also send their profits overseas as well.

Despite BMW having a factory here, it seems like the worst drivers are the ones with Silver Honda sedans. They’re the ones coming up from behind at 50 over the limit.

Also this (built in the US from nearly 80% domestic content)

is more American than this (50/50 chance American or Canada/Mexico from a little less than 60% domestic)

I actually don’t hate it in person.

I think it actually looks worse in person. But opinions are like bungholes.

Well I won’t judge you for it, but I had one pull up next to me at a stop light this morning, and the first thought in my head was “yuck”. But people buy them in spades, so my opinion is obviously not universal.

How does that flag never touch the ground?

I actually like the look of all of the X5 generations.

Depending on gun control legislation on the national level, South Carolina may indeed secede again.

I mean it does sound like something South Carolina would do.

So you won’t get any German cars along with Ford Fiestas and Focus’.

Is there anything else you won’t get.

Erm, isn’t your new Buick Regal, aka Opel Insignia built in Germany or China? Both areas trumpie is against.

Being from Michigan, I can assure you, the rest of the world does as well.

This demands the question, what actually is an American made car? Is final assembly enough?

Buick Envision. Designed AND built in China.

Ouch, the Americans are running out of ‘American’ cars to buy.

Maybe they’ll start rebadging Toyotas as Chevrolets again.

Much better than the alternative:

Fun fact: they attached that whole structure and flag to the truck while it was moving at 100 mph. To make sure the flag never touches the ground, they get another car to pull up alongside it and refuel it and/or change drivers when necessary.

That truck is still doing 100 mph today.

Well, the export models are MUCH better appointed though. Can’t say they use better plastics but there are improvements.

Here’s American University’s take on the most American cars:

https://www.american.edu/kogod/research/autoindex/

The BMWs are actually quite low, with indices between 37.5 and 35 for the SUVs BMW builds here, and <3.5 numbers for everything else.

BMW will badge the X3 as the Ford Fiesta and the X5 as the Ford Focus. The X6 will be, erm, hang on, er, okay, the Ford Fusion Coupe.

I guess it’s open for debate.
