You're correct, the motherland always wins...even more so with cheap labor...the rest is just lip service...DeezerShoove » 26 Oct 2025, 6:14 pm » wrote: ↑ People are under the misconception that where a car is built is crucial to supporting that country.
In the long run the profit on the sale goes back to motherland. Where is the headquarters?
That's where most of profit on the sale ends up.
A Toyota built in Kentucky is supporting a Japanese company.
A Buick built in Canada is supporting a US company.
Locals do reap the rewards of jobs and the ripple economy, however. And it's great PR.
