Question Vehicle Parts Origin

Looking for a website that will show where what percentage of a vehicle is made or its' country of origin. I know all new cars come with them on the window, I just want to compare them. I couldn't find anything on the internet. Any help would be great.

Re: Vehicle Parts Origin

I'm not aware of any website that lists specific vehicles and content, and country of origin for it's parts. However there is a tool that might be helpful. It is called the "American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA)" passed in 1994. It requires labels specifying their percentage value of U.S./Canadian parts content, the country of assembly, and countries of origin of the engine and transmission. You could try to locate labels for both vehicles and then compare them to each other.

Re: Vehicle Parts Origin

I know of the Labeling Act, I'm just wondering if there is a place that has a link to that information.
