I don't care that I only got 2 of 6 on their test. I was already aware that the foreign brands were about as American as the American brands.Guess you don't work in the auto industry?

Now I know why Nissan parts are more expensive than BMW parts! lol6/6. To answer on the last one, the Pathfinder, as well as the majority of the Nissan line, are final assembled in the US. Nissan has been building trucks in Smyrna, TN since 1983. They have had an engine/transmission plant in Decherd, TN for about two decades I believe. The R51 Pathfinder (pictured in the quiz) is the first Pathy built in the US, all previous (2004 and prior) were Japanese. Nissan's Titan/Amarda/QX56 big trucks and the Quest are assembled in Mississippi.
I have worked on a ton of stuff in my '01 Frontier, it is amazing just how many pieces are made in the US from all the little tags and labels on the backs of parts and pieces. Carlex glass, Calsonic radiator, Spicer driveshaft, etc. The only part I found so far with a Japanese tag on it was the stereo.
