Domestic brands have the most American-made content in the United States according to a new index released by American University's Kogod School of Business. Professor Frank DuBois, a global supply chain management expert, led the analysis, which considered not only where each vehicle's parts were produced, but also the location of the manufacturer's headquarters and other details, all in an effort to help consumers buy American.

“If you break down a single 'American-made' transmission, you'll find many smaller parts, each stamped with its own country of origin. You may well find 80 percent of the parts inside that transmission didn't come from the U.S.,” said Dubois.
