I wish someone would end this whole thing of if you buy a car that isn't from a US based company, you are un-American, and flushing your American dollars into some other country's economy.

You are so far from the truth, its not even funny.

Consider the way the money flows:

I walked into a dealership, and decided to purchase a Nissan Altima.
I bought the car from the dealership, which is an American Company.
They arranged financing through an American company.
The dealer has to purchase the car I want from another dealer a couple states away because my dealer doesn't have what I want in their inventory, and that other dealer is an American Company.
Second Dealer had the car shipped from the Nissan Plant in Canton, Missouri to their dealer in Salt Lake City by a trucking company that is an American Company. Another American Shipping Company has to transport my Nissan Altima to Denver to my dealership.
The car was built in Missouri, by American Workers.
The car was designed for the American market by American designers.
The engine was built in Mexico, but the transmission was built in America.

So, the Nissan Altima supports a long string of Americans, from beginning to end.
When I take my car to a shop to be worked on, those are Americans working on it.

So little actual profit goes to Japan, that your arguments have enough holes that I can (very happily) drive my Nissan Altima right through it.

Plus, the best part is, I can buy Nissan stock, and its worth more than just about all of the American car companies stocks currently! :P

So I can make money off of these Japanese car companies, which is something I can't do with an American car company.
