Good one Dave, many people buy American made "foreign" cars without
realizing it.
Eric, check the first digit of your VIN number. I bet it is not a J, but
a 1,2, 3 or 4 .
J would indicate Japan as the country of origin.
The numbers are for North American plants!
Another digit indicates the exact assembly plant.
VIN Character 1 - Manufacturing Country Codes
1 or 4
2
3
J
K
S
W
Z
USA
Canada
Mexico
Japan
Korea
England
Germany
Italy
