So I was going through my Car and Driver and it lists the country of final assembly for all cars sold in the usa right now. I was surprised how many cars are built here. This is a list of cars that are assembled here (some are assembled other places too):
Acura- MDX
Buick- Century
Regal
Cadillac- Escalade EXT
Chevrolet- Impala
Monte Calro
Tracker
Avalanche
Silverado
Chrysler- 300M
Concorde
Pacifica
Town and Country
Dodge- Intrepid
Caravan
Ford- Crown Victoria
Ford Explorer Sport Trac
Freestar
GMC- Sierra
Honda- Civic Sedan
Civic Hybrid Sedan
Mercury- Grand Marquis
Marauder
Monterey
Pontiac- Vibe
Suzuki- Vitara V6
Grand Vitara
XL-7
Toyota- Camry Solara
Matrix
Volvo - S60
V40
Here are some car build locations I found a bit odd:
Civic Si - England (I guess cause it is the 'European' hatch it has to built in Europe)
Audi TT - Hungary (Germany took over Hungary a few times....maybe they think they still own it)
Mitsubishi Diamante - Australia (No clue)

Yeah, I realized this is a list of 2004 models after I made it. I wonder if any new 2005 models are made here. I figure the 300C and Magnum might be if the old full size Chryslers were built here. I also think Windsor is making that new Sprinter van
