My friend does not want anything from USA on his GT86.
Please tell me there are at least some parts on twins made in USA...

Tell your friend he's an idiot. Why the hell does that even matter?

I agree with Raven.
Don't know for sure but highly doubt there is anything made in the USA on it stock. There is a list on here someplace that provided the parts manufacturers for all the major components and I do not recall seeing a USA company listed. Hell, even if they were made in the USA the odds are the parent company is based in another country anyway.

The cars are built in Texas by George Bush, then exported and hand delivered to each country by Obama himself.

Fun Fact : Each car is exported with an anti-terrorism kit, but these are usually seized by the TSA before the car leaves the country. Each kit includes a 1911 pistol, AR15, and a steak. These kits can fetch high dollar amounts outside of the USA due to their rarity, only a few cars slip through security with the kit.

Grab an engraver and start engraving Made in USA on key components. The more expensive the part the better. See how long he keeps his bias then.

Your friend is an idiot.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are certain bits of the electronics that were designed in the USA. Granted, they were probably manufactured in Taiwan, where most semiconductors are made these days.

I'm Canadian and it's still a good joke.

Michelin has a huge facility in South Carolina. Not sure where those Primacy tires are made, but it's at least possible that's where they come from. Perhaps someone can come along to confirm.

Don't know but would guess either Thailand or China. Shipping costs would be a fraction of bringing them from the US.
