Most Toyotas are built in the United States. The Vibe is basically all Japanese parts and engineering except the exterior panel design. Same as the Matrix, remember that. So they're saying they sell more than imports, such as the Toyota Matrix when really it's the same thing.

If anyone else cares about American-made, I found the article below helpful when car shopping. It is by the UAW and identifies both American-made and Canadian-made cars build by the UAW/CAW.http://www.uaw.org/uawmade/cartruck2006.cfm

I laughed when I saw a GM poster saying the Vibe was rated better then the Matrix... (removed)?
