I'd buy a NAFTA-mobile HHR. I'm not saying that I'd like it, but the discounts are so high on a HHR I can forgive its nation of manufacture. I've never heard great things about build quality or durability, but that has nothing to do with it being Mexican. The Cobalt on which it was based was built in the plant which built the Vega and it kinda showed, although it was a lot nicer than the Cavalier.

I saw a HHR in traffic once with a bumper sticker: "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign." A car made in Mexico is not American in my book, even with a gaudy gold Chevrolet bowtie on it.

And this is why this country is the way it is. NAFTA should never have been approved. Thank you Bush for leading it and Clinton for signing it.

I would not buy a HHR because I think it is very ugly and not the car I'm looking for, but I would not care where it has been assembled.

YES,. Someone had a Made in China label on something they bought and stuck it on the dash. Think about it.. you will NEVER see a Made in China (mexico, etc.) sticker on ANY new car.

The Vibe was built at the NUMMI plant in Fremont (East Bay), CA.

Google it.
