And the money you paid for this went ultimately where?, US or Japan?
Thats an irrelevant argument, because no money really stays in one place anymore. But a Ford escort, it was built in Mexico, buy a Camry, it was built in Kentucky, either way the companies have to pay employees and costs related to the country their in and country of origin. Not to mention worldwide investments and such. No auto manufacturer has their entire opertaion in one location because all vendors outsource for the cheapest price.

I heard it best in Armageddon .... "Russian components, American Components ... all made in Taiwan"
