Are Ford and GM Still American?

For decades, Ford and General Motors have had characters of the American industry, blue collar pride and heart grit. All-American Chevy, Detroit Great Three – Ford, GM and Chrysler (now part of Stellantis) – a car market in the United States, which is a large three-installed vehicles. Ford F-150 is a cultural character.

For many, Detroit remains in the hearts of the heart of the US auto industry, a perceived perception of billions of dollars in recent investments aimed at conquering electricity and autonomous vehicle markets. However, a new ranking question the whole personality.

Annual American production index Cars.comNow in the 20th year, it was simply released and draws a stunning picture. The list, which ranked vehicles based on US plants, production plants and percentage of local parts, shows how “American American” is really. And this year the results are a pr nightmare for the old guard.

In the first 20 lists of Tesla’s dominant, inherited American brands are almost no place. GM managed to place only one vehicle, Chevy Colorado Pickup, in the lower level. There is no model in the top 20 of the Ford. Meanwhile, each Tesla model – from the list, in the list, taking the highest point with the model 3. Even Stellantis saved his face with both Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler, both Ohio and both gathered in Toledo. Meanwhile, Japanese and Korean cars-Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Kia, a few models were collected in American plants.

This ranked lands are politically installed. President Donald J. Trump has recently applied a 25% tariff in all imported cars, which entered into force on April 3.

Instead of finding the poor in both GM and Ford, Both GM and Ford, in order to find the poor in the rankings, choose to emphasize the number of investments and jobs.

GM pointed out the last announcement that promises a $ 4 billion investment in the inner plants. “We are committed to America’s production and expand production in the United States,” said a spokesperson gizmodo.

To be fair, both companies are employers in US. At the end of 2024, the GM is used in the country to 90,000 people (56% of global workforces) and Ford 89,000 (52%). GM is still the largest car manufacturer in the United States with market share.

However, the criteria of automobile are more than mounting. Investigates the origin of the percentage of engines and passes and percentages of the United States and Canada. The website warns that “the United States is definitely prepared here because a model in an assembly plant can be done.”

For companies that build the brands based on American personality, it is a terrible view that the top 15 of vehicles will not crack. The globalized auto industry shows that the “American” label is more complicated than they appear.
