The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord retain the top two spots on this year’s American-Made Index, a list that considers where cars are built, how many are sold, and how high their domestic parts content is.
This year marks the sixth time we’ve conducted the AMI, and the Camry tops the list for the third year in a row. None of Detroit’s full-size pickups — the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 — made the list, but the three automakers still account for half of the index. Ford’s redesigned, Chicago-built Explorer hit the ground running with a fourth-place start, and GM fielded three vehicles: the GMC Acadia and the Chevrolet Malibu and Traverse.
We also look at why so many cars — 21 of the top 50 best-sellers — are still imported entirely from Canada, Mexico or overseas. Check out the full list, and leave your thoughts below.
