The top 10 American-made cars

Start your engines

The automobile may be as American as apple pie, but you would never know it with all of the internationally made cars seen on the roads. So let’s get back to basics with the all-American car.

Cars.com’s American-Made Index rates vehicles built and bought in the United States. Factors include where the car’s parts come from, whether the car is assembled in the United States, and the car’s sales.

Models are disqualified if they have a domestic parts content rating below 75 percent, are built exclusively outside the United States, or are soon to be discontinued without a US-built successor.

See which cars made the cut for the best of those made in America.
