[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 52971, member: 1228"] By and large, North American built vehicles have North American made parts. A few years ago GM Oshawa trucks switched to Denso air con compressors and stuff like that. Some of the small cars are Korean made. The GM/Suzuki CAMI plant in Ingersol had a stamping plant to do sheet metal body parts. For those preferring foreign cars, it might be a little easier after 2016. GM Oshawa has nothing on the books to build after that. Only a major improvement in car sales will save the place.....or a government deal. At a cruise night, a guy was railing on about junk North American vehicles. One of the guys listening in happened to be a Toyota mechanic. He invited the guy down to the local dealership and see how busy the Toyota mechanics were. Busy mechanics there too repairing Toyotas. They all have their problems and to think otherwise is to kid yourself. If you don't build quality in this market, you will be GONE. It is just too competitive to sell junk. The Lada was an extreme example of how fast you can be gone. Most people are not even aware that Russia tried to sell cars here. [/QUOTE]
