GM as a whole may or may not love America like you think but they surely could have declared bankruptcy and been out of all U.S. labor with everything made in Mexico or China at least a decade ago. Then you can say, "who would buy a car from a bankrupt company, that is why they haven't". Guess what? They are loosing billions a quarter on sales to America. Would declaring bankruptcy in the U.S. and headquartering somewhere else and not losing billions a quarter really "save" them money? After 10 years of not losing money every quarter in the U.S. they could emerge leaner and Americans would buy they stuff in a hear beat. Hell, Toyota started their U.S. sales 10 years after WWII and apparently sold at least one car. Americans have short memory.
"You still haven't specified which Apple you're talking about. If you're talking about Apple Computer - first off, I don't use a Mac, and second off, almost all computer parts for any computer manufacturer are made in Asia... so what's your point?"
Yes, Apple Computers. You don't use a Pontiac either yet you took the time to tell us how foreign they are. And they are all about "Designed in California" and "Assembled in China". They are *your* perfect company. You stated how "Engineered in" is more important than "Assembled in" that is why they are so relevant.
As far as all computer parts made in Asia then since the norm is what we base what our American companies should be doing then GM is just making their parts more in line with what the Japanese and German vehicles sold here are made. All because the Camry or Accord are assembled here doesn't mean that as a whole Toyota or Honda parts are so much more American. GM is just making their cars more worldly like their competitors and like I stated, America approves of their things being from all over so it is hard to get upset.
But again, I will e-iterate why it is different if the Acura is from a Japanese company with Japanese parts then yes, GM owning a factory in Mexico is better in my opinion. Luckily I don't buy the products that are majority foreign even from GM.

How is a Japanese car built in Japan with a Japanese badge on it better than an Australian car built in Australia with an American badge on it?

I think this comment system was built in Mexico.
