Is it poor craftsmanship on parts or poor assembly?
According to federal government standards, the domestic content of the US-built Honda Accord is 97%.
The fact still remains that Honda and other transplant OEMs have continued to move more work here into the US, while certain “domestic” OEMs are making public commitments to move in the opposite direction.
Isn’t it just a bit odd that the Saturn VUE carries the choice of a Chinese-built GM engine or a US-built Honda engine?

How sure of your statements are you? Honda of America states that 97% of the Accord is made from DOMESTIC parts.
