Not even GM advertises the Camaro as a part of the Chevy family .

"The American Sports Car" is the Corvette.

Camaro isn't a sports car true? It's in a different class than the Corvette since the Camaro seats four people and has the ride height of a family sedan.

I agree that the Camaro is Americana. I bought mine used this past Memorial Day weekend so I had an American flag attached to my house so I thought it very apropos when I looked out of my den window and saw my new Camaro in the driveway next to the American flag flapping in the breeze.

And this knucklehead lives in San Antonio no less! As of the end of 2014, Toyota's contribution to Texas includes:

Over 19,000 good paying jobs;
About $4 billion invested;
About $18 million in local charitable giving;
98 dealerships employing many more.

I say, THANK YOU TOYOTA, for all you do for Texas and my home state of Indiana where the numbers are just as impressive.

I did better than "Buy American" when I needed a minivan. I "Bought Hoosier" with the excellent Toyota Sienna, manufactured by 4000 Hoosiers and Illini in Princeton, Indiana.

I was talking to a guy from Michigan last week and he was telling me how he just bought a Toyota Tundra and how his co-workers were giving him grief for purchasing a foreign car. He then tells me how he told them the statistics of how the Tundra is one of the top vehicles produced with American-made parts.

Yes, we have Ft. Wayne Assembly here in Indiana where many GM pickups are built. IIRC, Car & Driver identified their U.S. Content at ~65% and our Toyota plants at ~80%.

But hey, I do love my Camaro and my Tahoe. I'm just trying to make the point that we should honor EVERYBODY who has the balls, patience and $$$ to build a manufacturing plant in the U.S. thereby creating a middle class in this country. Beats the hell out of Ford building in Mexico.
