Whoa, whoa, whoa--how are we differentiating "domestic" and "foreign" manufacturers in this thread? Remember your Voltaire: If you would speak with me, first define your terms. Toyota Tundras and Tacomas for the US market are made in Indiana and Texas, Camrys in Kentucky, and Corollas in Mississippi; Honda Civics are built in Indiana, Accords in Ohio, and minivans in Alabama; Mitsubishis in Illinois; Subarus in Indiana; Volkswagen Passats in Tennessee. Meanwhile, the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger and Challenger, as well as all of Chrysler's minivans, are built in Canada; some Ram trucks are made in Mexico; the Ford Edge and Flex and their Lincoln variants are made in Canada; the Chevrolet Equinox and Impala are also made in Canada, and the HHR in Mexico. So, if we are defining specific models as domestic or not based on where they're built, then a lot of small, fuel-efficient cars are domestics. If not, then a model produced by a US-based manufacturer (like the PT Cruiser) is a domestic. Which is it?
Also, you got Fisker and Tesla mixed up: Fisker's manufacturing is based in Finland, Tesla's in California.
