Its made here, and in much greater volumes.
Still doesn't help the economy nearly as much as buying a GM. We have covered this before.

So employing 3x as many people to make the Prius, for the same wage (or better) than the GM Volt, is worse for the American economy? Why? Because Toyota is partially based in Japan?
Yes. The majority share holder of Toyota is one of the largest banks in the world, based in Japan. The profits from their car sales here are invested in Japan.

The wages earned, by AMERICANS, are invested in America.
Cars made in america by american companies contribute 3 times as much to the american economy as cars made in america by foriegn companies.
The Prius is built in Toyota City, Japan.
And in the US in Blue Springs, Mississippi. The Highlander moved to Princeton, IN.
Actualy I bought it for half of what a toyota with the same miliage cost. It was an entirely value based purchase.
The reason I didn't buy a volt yet is because I am installing a Co-Gen system at my home. When that is completed I will be puchasing a Volt.
How much do German cars made in Germany contribute to America; captain hypocrite?

GM has regained its number one carmaker position, it's funny when you consider all the doomsayers who wanted it to go to the wall.

You're a moron sometimes. I bought it from a U.S. Customs auction. ALL THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR WENT TO THE US TREASURY DEPT.
They still owe the government billions, are you buying the stock or just being a blowhard?

I am watching it, by the way GM has repaid the loans.

What would have been the costs if GM had gone to the wall, not just in the US but Europe as well?
