Whats the Most American Car on American Roads? Its a Surprise !!

[csv8]

It's hard to believe as we get ready to celebrate the nation's birthday today, but the most "American" car sold today is a Toyota, according to an annual study by Cars.com.

How is it possible? The website, a competitor to AOL Autos, ranks vehicles for their Americanness based on mashing up facts such as where the car is built, the percentage of parts sourced in the U.S. and total number of vehicles sold. When the website factors those together, a popular Toyota model edged out the Ford F150 pickup truck.

It is the fourth year in a row a Toyota has taken the top honor.

"When people think about buying an 'American' car, they might just think automatically of the Detroit Three," said Patrick Olsen, Editor in Chief at Cars.com. “"n reality, this classification isn’t as cut and dry as it used to be. Today, Fiat owns a majority stake in Chrysler, companies like Toyota are increasing production of their vehicles in the U.S. and parts are coming in from all over the globe. Our index accounts for all of these factors to determine where vehicles rank."
