A Tale of Two Cities: Georgetown, KY and Toluca, Mexico

What, exactly, is an American car? A car branded by a company with headquarters in the U.S.? A car manufactured by people in the U.S? A car manufactured by people in Canada or the U.S.?

(Georgetown, KY is where Toyota manufactures the Camry. Toluca, Mexico is where Chrysler manufactures PT Cruisers, among others.)

BTW, as for my thoughts on Fiat taking a 35% stake in Chrysler: that's like Dollar General taking a stake in The GAP. Not what you want if you like The GAP.
