As for "Made in USA" thing .... over 80% of the components of Club Car golf carts are USA sourced and the carts are entirely built in the USA. Beyond question, they are the Cadillac of the main stream golf cart manufacturers.
Park an Evolution next to a Club Car or Star Sirius or drive each of one them, side by side ... you'll never buy an Evolution.
& no, I don't own a Club Car.
BTW, I have never run across anyone who's bought a 4 Seater (front facing) cart, who's happy with the purchase, 6 months later. They're slow, they're unwieldy, wheel base is too long, center of gravity is too high, they don't work at the golf courses ... & hardly anyone needs 4 seats on a regular basis.

Do a bit more research - the "USA sourced" is just a play on words by Club Car. Yes, 80% of their parts are sourced from other USA companies. However, this actually means that they don't make 80% of their own parts, and the majority of those sourced companies use parts from overseas. It's a shell game used by both Yamaha and Club Car.
I have parked my Evolution next to Club Car (used to own) and Star Sirius. I own an Evolution D5 after test driving. 5,000 miles in and I'll never own another Yahama or Club Car - at least not at the exorbitant price increase over the Evolution. Note that the Evolution D5 and their older Classic are two completely different models. I would never own the Classic. It is truly a low end cart. The D5 was a completely new design from the ground up and is a far better built cart.
I love the 4 forward facing seating. It is what drove me to look at Star, E-Z Go, and Evolution. And when company comes in, they love it too. No one wants to ride backwards.
