The ABC News "Made in America" team has been working this week with the Stewart family of Hillsdale, N.J., as it looks for a new car. We asked which car would create more jobs, an American car made in the United States, or a foreign car that is also made here.

You can find out which cars are mostly made here by clicking on the link. It is very interesting, especially when you consider that most people think that all of the parts are made abroad.

I would say most American car companies create the most jobs because so many mechanics are kept in business trying to keep them on the road.

In fairness, I think that used to be true, but there are some American cars doing pretty well...especially some of the fords which are considered more reliable than their Japanese counterparts.

How much money does Toyota invest in the United States, and how much do they invest in Japan?

I bet its more in Japan.

But all they're talking about are the assembly line jobs. What about all of the other jobs? Marketing, engineering, design, finance, etc. By far, the U.S.-based auto manufacturers produce more jobs in this country than the foreign companies do.

I am sure that is true. But the perception is that most of the parts are produced in other countries, which does not seem to be true.
