They go a little further than just parts and manufacturing locations, which would disqualify most "American" cars, by factoring in profit to American companies, engineering resources, and other factors.
Not to mention there's an actual Federal law that vehicle manufacturers have to abide by to disclose such things:

The Camry (and Kia Optima, and various Hondas/Acuras) all have a higher index than anything produced here that isn't a Jeep Wrangler.
