What cars are the most American (US) made? Too few.

Perhaps to prove that this really is a global economy, or to show the sad fact that we don't make it any more, Cars.com compiled a list of the cars (and trucks) made here in the USA. It's a short list and getting shorter. Our once proud auto industry, although once more strong from a sales point of view, is shrinking.

Here's the list:

Rank	Make/Model	Manufacturer	U.S. Assembly Location(s)	Rank in 2013
1	Ford F-150	Ford	Dearborn, Mich.; Claycomo, Mo.	1
2	Toyota Camry	Toyota	Georgetown, Ky.; Lafayette, Ind.	2
3	Honda Odyssey	Honda	Lincoln, Ala.	4
4	Toyota Sienna	Honda	Princeton, Ind.	5
5	Toyota Tundra	Toyota	San Antonio, Texas	7
6	Toyota Avalon	Toyota	Georgetown, Ky.	10
7	Chevrolet Corvette	General Motors	Bowling Green, Ky.	-
8	Honda Ridgeline	Honda	Lincoln, Ala.	-
9	Honda Crosstour	Honda	East Liberty, Ohio	-
10	Dodge SRT Viper	Chrysler	Detroit, Mich.	-

No offense to Honda or Toyota but the "Big 3" have only one vehicle each on the list. The Japanese auto makers put more models in the top 10 than the "domestic" auto makers. Detroit and environs, the very image of US auto making, only scores two vehicles on the list; first place and tenth. 

It is a sad commentary on our nation that we don't make it here anymore. Every time I see something about the shrinking manufacturing section in our nation I hear "We Can't Make It Here Anymore" by James McMurty (son of Larry "Lonesome Dove" McMurtry). The last verse says it all:

"In Dayton, Ohio

Or Portland, Maine

Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains

That's done closed down along with the school

And the hospital and the swimming pool

Dust devils dance in the noonday heat

There's rats in the alley

And trash in the street

Gang graffiti on a boxcar door

We can't make it anymore"

I hope that next year the list is longer.
