rperez817 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks ANTAUS. Here is the press release from AU's Kogod School of Business. 2022 Made in America Auto Index (american.edu) As with the Cars.com American Made Index, the Kogod Made in America Auto index uses AALA data. The usual caveats apply. @iamweasel is very knowledgeable about these. One unresolved issue in the Kogod Made in America Auto Index is score inflation for Stellantis products. The study gives Stellantis N.V. a 0.5 for the "HQ" criterion, when it should be 0. Edited December 5, 2022 by rperez817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 It’s horse hockey anyway. Why would you count Canada but not Mexico? Both are in North America. And we’ve already discussed the sub assembly issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AALA was introduced in 1992. The act combined U.S. and Canadian auto parts into the same metric on the basis of the Canada—United States Automotive Products Agreement signed in 1965. Mexico didn't have an equivalent to this until NAFTA took effect in 1994. AALA should be amended to either: Combine parts content from U.S., Canada, and Mexico into a single metric Only consider U.S. parts content to be "domestic", those from anywhere else including Canada and Mexico are "foreign" But neither of those actions have taken place. Probably best to repeal AALA because so few U.S. car buying customers care about it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most hated things in the auto industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
