    Must only have currently made cars? None of ours are on there. The year I am sure would also matter, but it doesn't designate years. Neat idea, but won't be the most accurate I would think.

    Apparently 5% [B)]. This surprises me since I figured that the total percentage of USA made parts in my 540i would be 0.

    +1

    We have

    2004 Chevy S-10
    2006 Pontiac Solstice
    2008 Chevy Uplander

    None are listed ... because they aren't current production models?
    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    My Bonneville is not on the list.

    As far as what I WANT as my next car...the Mustang is sadly only 65%...but its one of the higher % ratings for its class (sports cars).
