On this, the fourth day of the month of July, we celebrate American independence. Given the current political climate, however, I know why I’m not feeling very patriotic, but it turns out our American car companies aren’t very patriotic either. Not a single Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge ranked in the top 15 of Cars.com’s list of the most American-made cars in 2024. Here’s the criteria that Cars.com uses to reach these rankings,
