Difference in USA vs Japanese made Toyotas? - Edmunds
I read many replies (from other makes too) that there is no difference between U.S. made cars vs Japan. If the recalls only affect U.S. made cars, and not Japan made cars, this would lead us to believe that the parts come from different supplier. Therefore "different." In the market for a 10 model very soon.
Is "Made in Mexico" necessarily a bad thing? - Edmunds
That said, I own two USA built Japanese cars now (an Accord built in Ohio and an Odyssey built in Alabama) and they are great. However I also once owned a Mexico built Chrysler Sebring convertible and it was very well screwed together.

Jetta- Made in Mexico? — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
I recently read in Automobile magazine that all NA Jetta's are now made in Mexico! There's no way I'm buying a Mexican made car, I've read and seen the horror stories on the junk that comes from there, if Mexico wants to develop it's own car..that's fine but a "so-called" German car which everyone automatically (VW hopes) *think they are getting but which is actually a Tijuana Taxi …
Importing Canadian Vehicles to the U.S. - Edmunds
"Grey" market refers to cars bought in foreign countries that, while cheaper, have to be modified to be legal in the States. Exact same cars are sold in Canada as in the States. No modifications required. Totally street legal. So what if the large print on the speedo is in kilometers. US should have gone this route long ago.
CITROEN DS-21 — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
You are right, the DS-21 was a remarkable car way ahead of its time. The car often wins journalists polls as one of the most significant post world war II cars every made. But complexity has its price, and on foreign shores with only Chevrolet mechanics to rely on, the Citroen owner in the USA was left high and dry by the factory.
I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today
You know, the funny thing is, I thought those cars made a handsome wagon! Just the right size. And you could get the Eurosport trim and aluminum wheels on the wagon, too, which made it a neat 'sportwagon' with buckets and console if you wanted, and the 2.8 MFI V6 was available which was actually a darling of the magazines then.
I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today
The four American cars are the Corvette Sting Ray, Ford Model T, Ford Mustang and Willys Jeep. There are three Citroens, two Volkswagens (Beetle and Golf) and two Jaguars, but no Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Chrysler, Lincoln, Packard, Auburn, Dusenberg or Cord made the list, so I guess those cars are as historically insignificant as Studebaker.
Importing Canadian Vehicles to the U.S. - Page 2 - Edmunds
Even after the cars were made legal, much of the time the car was still not the same as the U.S. version. The Canadian cars that we are talking about here do not require $2,500+ to make them legal in the U.S..
Small Diesel Pickups — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
The two young men driving told me they averaged 45 miles to the gallon for the whole trip. That vehicle is available in South America and Australia. NOT in the good old USA. We are given what the Manufacturers think we want. I showed the local Ford dealer the pictures and he could not believe Ford made such a truck.
