Yep, with tons of sub assembled made in Mexico, and on the electronics parts in most of the electronic sub assemblies and such, made in Asia instead. To add, Ford has been using Mazda parts on their cars for a long time now.
So short of UAW workers bolting it all together, there is no such thing as a 100% USA car anymore.
So on that note, the BMW X3, X4, X5, and X6 are produced in Greer, South Carolina, and are pretty much as USA cars as the models you have listed. Same can be said for the Haley Davidson motorcycles now produced as well.
So simply, we now live in a global world, and it really comes down to which company is producing the best cars (give you a hint, and its Honda and has been for a long time, and why a NSX still demands so much money to buy even a used one).

I do as well which is why the one on the left (cobra) is driven very little now, but the one in the middle is the daily driver so that obviously gets driven the most. Really happy and impressed with the grand sport.

Thanks for the compliment on the cars, and YES it is a GT with the sport package. It's the daily driver and it's been great so far. The LS motor is strong as you know. I had it tuned, added CAI, and a corsa cat back exhaust. Holds me over until I get to drive the GS on the weekends. The cobra I haven't been driving much since the getting the GS, still a nice car, but the GS is more of the total package, power and handling.

I would prefer if all parts of the car were made in America, but as long as the brand provides a living wage to an American citizen and feeds their family..........I will buy it. Why we all feel so strongly about our cars being made in America and not everything else that we buy from clothes to appliances is beyond me. We need to buy American whenever we can.

I know this is the Vette forum, but GM really missed the boat when they elected to dissolve Pontiac after producing such a great 4 door performance car. I've had it since new and now have 84k on the clock and it's still running strong, but I did expect that because of the LS motor. It's my 4 door Vette. LOL.
