Toyota’s Camry topped this year's American-Made Index with Ford’s F-150 at No 2

Today’s cheap work force has forced manufacturers to establish their plants
 in various partsof the world and that is also the case with auto industry. Cars.com's American-Made Index recognizes cars that are being manufactured and assembled in States and publish their top ten list yearly basis and this years award was won by Camry, a product of Toyota.

The Toyota Camry extended its No. 1 status to four years running with
Ford's F-150 landed by a photo-finish at No. 2. The F-150 was once a common AMI leader, topping the index from 2006 to 2008, but lower domestic parts content had dropped the best-selling pickup off the list. With its domestic parts content back to 75 percent — up from 60 percent last year — the F-150 returns to the AMI for 2012.

Toyota, Honda and GM combined for eight of the AMI's 10 vehicles. Honda fielded two vehicles, the Ohio-built Accord and Alabama-built Pilot, while GM's related three-row crossovers — the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave, all assembled in Michigan — landed at sixth, ninth and 10th, respectively. Besides the Camry, Toyota's Tundra pickup and Sienna minivan also made the list. The Jeep Wrangler's domestic parts content fell below 75 percent this year, but Chrysler fielded another entrant in the Jeep Liberty. Like the Wrangler, the Liberty is assembled in Ohio.
