Not many...the much anticipated Focus ST is part Japanese (see above posts about Mazda MZR engine), and, from what I understand, the Ecotec motor that powers the much beloved Cobalt SS, is Opel by design. They don't publicize these facts, and domestic fanbois just rest assured that their favorite automaker is the best whenever their car wins something on paper.
