Is that really a "Fordsubishi?" I am told at signing the buying agreement, you get a month's supply of toilet paper scented like burning rubber. :help:

I did my part and bought a Fusion this year. At least most of the parts came from North America.

Is there a web site that lists where a car model is manufactured and how many parts come from each country?

The irony in this, of course, is that to date Ford hasn't accepted any bailout money. GM and Chrysler are both on the edge of collapse, but Ford seems to be in the best shape of the three.
