2 for me. America (based on a Japanese platform, so that one's kinda messed up) and Japan (but built in Mexico)

See Signature. I like the Sentra better overall, but the Escort had it's good points.

[replicant_008]

Let see... 2 Australian Cars (both actually assembled in Australia as opposed to ones assembled here in New Zealand with CKD kits), 1 Car assembled in NZ from a CKD kit from Japan and two cars from Belgium.

Incidentally, none of the cars has less than 12 valves (both pushrod OHV sixes, there have been two twincam 16 valvers and the current one has a quadcam 24 valve donk). Apart from the first car which was built in '72 which had a carbie, all the rest were MPEFI. Both Euros have/had ABS and Airbags...

BTW I shot the pics of the Mondeo this weekend. I'll post some later this week (finally).

My parents have only bought American cars.

I might be the first one to be different.

[ci5ic]

Um... 2 and a half?

Well. My original ride was a 84 olds. Cutlass Sierra (POS) which I assume was made in the US.

To my knowledge, my Jeep Cherokee was probably made in US as well, and my civic is a Japanese car, but was made in Canada....
