Seriously? No, no more than a Ford Aspire is a Japanese car. With the
industry the way it is these days, most cars are "world" cars because of
the sourcing of parts. I had a VW Rabbit years ago and was intriqued by all
the places that the parts came from. The car was assembled in PA, the
wheels came from Brazil, the upholstery from Canada, the radiator was
French, the starter was Japanese, etc.
Is a Camaro a Canadian car? It's assembled in St. Therese, Quebec.
