According to senior editor Kelsey Mays, most companies that produce the vehicles on Cars.com’s “American-Made Index” (AMI) to date, have not announced any major manufacturing changes.
“It’s no small task to move supply chains, much less alter where a car or its major components are built – both factors that influence AMI rankings. Such actions take years to plan, negotiate and implement,” she said.
“Younger generations aren’t any less patriotic than past generations, but they likely don’t prioritize buying American to the same extent as their parents and grandparents because they grew up with imported brands and digital access to goods from all over the world their entire lives,” said Mays.
