RE: Mustang japanese??
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. So many American companies are trying to save money by outsourcing (?).
For example: I purchased two computers from Dell. Supposedly American. Well their customer service people are located in other countries and I have a hard time understanding what they are saying because their accents are so heavy. The last two were Indian.

Dell's products are partially japanese; I believe most of their hard drives are Hitachi (especially for laptops), but that's true for most computer parts anyway.
Dell outsources tech support, as most companies do now, to India, since it's a lot easier to pay 10 cents an hour to an Indian who knows just as much as an American who gets paid $5.15 an hour.
So likely the 'Stang is Mexican American???
Maybe I should rename her to "Cheech"........

i know for my truck it was built in the USA and most of its parts are from the USA... except the HEMI... the HEMI motors are built in MEXICO!!! [&:] i bet some of the stangs are built in mexico also. probably drivetrain parts are somewhat from there.... dont think they are from japan though... my moms got a honda oddessy and only the tranny is from japan... the rest of the stuff is from the USA.

japan outsources just like us, so even many things that are japanease products arent necessarily made in japan. Although we still make some of our cars, detroit and i believe a lot in NC
