The New York Times created an interactive map that shows what cars are Made in the USA. Fortunately, they also list models made in Canada and Mexico, seperately. For the cars made in the US, they list where then engines and transmissions come from, because many plants only do final assembly in the States.

If you are taking advantage of the strong Canadian dollar. By buying a car made in the USA, Canada or Mexico, you will save yourself paying duty at the border. There’s even some BMW’s, Mercedes and VW’s made in the USA now.

Support your local economy by buying cars made in Canada. I’ve listed them below:

• Acura MDX
• Chevrolet Camaro
• Chevrolet Impala
• Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid
• Chrysler 300
• Chrysler Town & Country
• Dodge Challenger

Last week JD Power released the latest vehicle dependency ratings. On top are Buick, Jaguar, Lexus and Toyota. Suprising this year is that both VW and Suzuki rated lower than Land Roger, who was dead last last year.
