I get that, but the article is about US manufacturers and their sales numbers not sales of companies that once had a footprint in Detroit historically.

I’m sure these companies want to pretend like they’re still ‘American owned’ but they aren’t and we shouldn’t entertain their fantasies. I mean if the why not include Toyota in that definition considering they’re built with the most US labor and US parts, even more so than companies like Ford and GM on average, since the parent company location doesn’t matter?
