...help our economy? For example Mazda is owned by Ford but the HQ is in Japan. Does buying a Mazda Car help out our economy as much as it does if you just buy a Ford Vehicle. Because obviously both help out more than buying a Mercedes.
Well Ford actually owns a small part of Mazda (I think they utilize engines and share some platforms) so it would still benefit Japan more than our local economy. Volvo is still a Swedish company and Americans do benefit from a sale, but not to any level of you purchasing a Lincoln or Cadillac. Though American manufactures own and make vehicles in other countries, buying vehicles that are MADE IN THE USA are the best way to support our domestic market.
well the answer in is it helps them more than us. this is because mazda is indeed owned by ford but they do not have a makority stake. they have 33.4% interest in mazada along wiht owning jaguar, land rover, lincoln mercury and others.
i dont know why you wouldnt buy an american car. for one it only helps you sense american auto makers are a huge employer helping our econ. and the fact that people think that american car suck is not true. total myth. i garentee you that if you treat an american car right and dont abuse it that it will last as long or longer than an asian counter part.
