Person? Man I can think of at least 5 right now that will jump on that small-minded wagon. Its usually people that can't understand big picture stuff. They just scroll down to one little detail and dwell on that.

I'm well aware of Dodge's ownership history. Its an American brand owned (partly) by an Italian company. Its like saying if I sold my Camaro to a Mexican its no longer an American car because a Mexican owns it. Dodge is still an American brand, so isn't Budweiser. Its just that an American's name isn't on the "title of ownership".
Try and twist it around all you want, but facts are facts.Keep trying though!
Here's a hint. Those brands I listed before, aren't listed by accident.
"Big picture"? Have you even been outside your home state, let alone outside this country? Try actually spending some time overseas before you come in here talking about big picture.

Yeah, it's pretty funny that him and another guy that went by the initials E.B. were about the only two people around here who "got it".
I'll try and keep this as simple as possible, because I know if I don't, I'll lose most of you.
Out of the following brands, which are "American", and which are "Other"?
Mazda, Daewoo, Opel, Volvo, Saab, Fiat, Dodge.
Let the games begin!

if you make a wrench in Ohio with steel imported from Korea, you can’t say that wrench was made in America because the steel represents a significant cost of production.
