To me it’s a combination of factors:
1. To be built in the factory it was originally built;
2. But most importantly to ensure that our American brothers and sisters will be employed, have job security;
3. In exchange for that they will built for us a high quality vehicle.

Makes sense?

Aint gonna lie, happy the Bronco will be American made... Happy that many manufactures are moving back to U.S operations after leaving.

I own or have owned:

Kentucky built - No issues
Canadian built - No issues
Japanese built -No issues
South Korean built - No issues

Mexican built - IDK, never owned one that I can recall
Michigan built - Looking forward to it... Hope it turns out great with no issues

Absolutely important. Our Murano and my F150 help employ the very same people that pay my military paycheck.

The Chinese Envision by Buick is an example of corporate greed

I'm from Michigan but stationed in Florida, the South has Hyundai plants, BMW plants, Nissan, Volvo and Toyota. All produce fine vehicles. Some fine Honda's come out of Ohio as well. It should be important to all of us. What would the world look like if the most recent world war didn't have US manufacturing to retool and start building planes, tanks, jeeps etc.

Shareholders and executives benefit from lower prices labor, we do not. I'm happy Tesla is building in China for the Chinese market, and am glad they employ local Chinese, but if a country can't manufacture for themselves, there national security is in the hands of someone else's mood.

Probably fine.

Turns out humans can be trained to the same level regardless of country or origin, and quality control standards can be held anywhere.

Shocker, I know.

Really because I have trained many people and some work out great, many are average and some just plain suck. But yes, the Chinese are known for their high quality automobiles.

As long as it’s made in the U.S., Canada, Japan, S.Korea, or Europe (minus VW products), then I’m game.

Maybe now more than ever. China has been importing to Mexico to abuse NAFTA for years.

NAFTA is dead as of July 1st, that loophole in particular is now gone.

Not that I’m advocating for less than 1st world built cars.

Prefer union-made vehicles, if possible, but quality is high on the list, so that means Japanese vehicles are always an option.

meh. what's more important to me is that they have tested it properly. some vehicles go through basic testing and when thousands of cars on the road, there's big issues that come up. the bronco (like other higher quality vehicles) has been pushed hard to see what fails. that's what i look for.

Couldn’t take any of your points seriously after this bolded bit.
Man, I don't know how to tell you this, but one typically isn't intended to take jokes seriously. It kinda ruins the point. :p

And while I can overlook the fact that you disagree, I simply cannot overlook your glaring omission of RC Cola. I mean seriously, you included sprite but not RC? Heresy.

Not a deciding factor.

It may be tagged as “Built in the USA”, just as other vehicles, but the parts that will make it up are not all manufactured in the USA.
