A Japanese automaker has been named the “most American-made” car maker, and one of the top two American-made vehicles is built in Princeton.
The website Cars.com says the Toyota Camry, which is built in Georgetown, Kentucky, and the Toyota Sienna – which is manufactured in Gibson County – took the top two spots on the annual American-made index.
The index ranks vehicles built and bought in the U.S. Some of the factors include the percentage of parts considered "domestic" under federal regulations, whether the car is assembled in the U.S., and U.S. sales.
Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz says in a news release that the results are “a testament to Toyota’s continued investment and growth in the United States."
Some U.S.-based companies also had vehicles on the list, including the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chevrolet Corvette.
Another Japanese vehicle, the Honda Odyssey, also made the Most American-made index.
