Car Shopping - Small Crossovers

[Xrayted]

Hmmm...yes and no. Mazdas are still Mazdas if we're talking cars. My 3 was shipped from Japan, but I think the 6s are made in the US. I think Mazda trucks are actually Fords, but they all share parts here and there. My '87 626 and '97 Ford Escort had the same dome light.

And don't forget Volvo. A whole bunch of vehicles from these 3 manufacturers share(d) the same platform.

Did you know that Mazda designed most of the Ford Explorer? It became one of the biggest sellers for Ford for years. Ford started dropping it's holding on Mazda when the recession started to hit. Up until then, they were the majority holder. Your Mazda was owned by Ford. Btw, many Fords are not made in the US either. Like I said, 80% to be considered made here in the USA. Doesn't matter where the parent company is located.
