IIRC Jeep and Mercedes are the only vehicle brands that are sold in every nation on the earthball. The logistics are complex. Mitt is using scare tactics by saying OMGz0Rx!, Jeep is moving everything to China!

It's just not true.

Mitt might be qualified to advise the ice cream parlor owner up at Lake Fapakanutee or whatever it's called. But he is best to leave the tough stuff to the professionals in Toledo.
Not surprising at all and easy to do in a country full of people who think both GM and Chrysler are wholly and permanently owned by the U.S. Government. And, when you try to correct them, they laugh at you and ask you what "lame stream media" outlet fed you that crap. The lies are so deep that when you tell them something that should pretty much be common knowledge........they laugh at you.

I recall being informed, almost thirty years ago, that "no one makes cars in America anymore. They all come from Japan, all we do is change the badge on them." When I told him, "That's funny, half of my family gets up and goes to work building cars every day.", he got mad at me and started ridiculing me.

Dave
