Cars.com's American-Made Index highlights the cars that are built here, have the highest amount of domestic parts — with eligible models having parts-content ratings of 75% or higher — and are bought in the largest numbers by Americans.
The Toyota Camry, once an American-Made Index presence, hasn't appeared on this list since 2007. Not only does it return for 2009, it's displaced Ford's F-150 as the only leader this list has had since we began compiling it in 2006. Three others joined the list, two of which — the Ford Taurus and Toyota Venza — have never been on the AMI before, and Detroit automakers claimed just five of the 10 spots. That's a record low for them.
MP: "Foreign" automakers captured half of the top ten spots for American-made cars in 2009:
#1. Toyota Camry (pictured above)
#4. Honda Odyssey
#5. Toyota Sienna
#6. Toyota Tundra
#10. Toyota Venza
