"Based on the latest available data from the Cars.com American-Made Index (AMI) and other sources reflecting 2025 model-year vehicles, here are the top 10 most American-made cars as of April 10, 2025. The AMI ranks vehicles based on factors like assembly location, parts content, engine origin, transmission origin, and U.S. manufacturing workforce. Note that rankings can shift slightly year to year, but these reflect the most current trends:

Tesla Model Y - Assembled in Fremont, California, and Austin, Texas, this electric SUV consistently tops the list due to its high domestic parts content and all-American production.
Honda Passport - Built in Lincoln, Alabama, this SUV stands out with its U.S.-sourced V6 engine and strong domestic manufacturing presence.
Volkswagen ID.4 - Produced in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this electric crossover benefits from VW’s growing U.S. manufacturing footprint.
Tesla Model S - Assembled in Fremont, California, this sedan maintains a high ranking with significant U.S. parts and labor.
Honda Odyssey - Made in Lincoln, Alabama, this minivan scores well due to its American assembly and parts sourcing.
Honda Ridgeline - Also from Lincoln, Alabama, this unibody pickup combines U.S. production with a domestically built V6 engine.
Toyota Camry - Manufactured in Georgetown, Kentucky, the 2025 model (now exclusively hybrid) remains a staple of American-made vehicles.
Jeep Gladiator - Assembled in Toledo, Ohio, this pickup climbs the ranks with its U.S. production and workforce contributions.
Tesla Model X - Built in Fremont, California, this SUV rounds out Tesla’s strong showing with high domestic content.
Lexus TX - Produced in Princeton, Indiana, this new luxury SUV enters the top 10 with its all-American powertrain and assembly.
These rankings reflect vehicles that not only are assembled in the U.S. but also prioritize American-sourced components and labor, making them the "most American" by the AMI’s methodology. Tesla’s dominance highlights its fully U.S.-based production, while Honda, Toyota, and others showcase significant investments in American manufacturing. Traditional U.S. brands like Ford and GM often fall lower due to globalized supply chains or less consistent domestic sourcing, though models like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette can still rank well in broader lists. For the absolute latest 2025 AMI (typically released mid-year), keep an eye on Cars.com updates, but this list aligns with current data and trends as of now."
Good luck with that passing. Interest would be small if the interest rate was a special promo rate. Deduction or tax credit ?
