Yeah, but the factory is in Italy.
Just like all the American brands good cars are based off foreign cars. The Italian's are good at design, just not quality. Hell, you can hardly call Lambourghini Italian anymore.

8-)Yes the DeLorean car was made in Ireland, and it end up, being the dark chapter in Colin Chapman history as they scammed some money from the government over-there However there was a super-car made in Canada it was the Bricklin, it end up being not very good and it just disappeared |

The DeLorean was a problematic car. It was ahead of it's time in materials and shape. I had to work on one and the fuel cell was in the front and it had an internal safety bladder: good idea bad engineering. The fuel pump was inside the thick rubber bladder. The pump burned out and the rubber (it could have been another black gooey substance), turned to mushy asphalt/rubber combination. It took days to scrape all the stuff out and chemically coat the interior of the fuel cell and install a new pump. It had a Volvo engine. There was a cool model with twin turbos, it really zoomed.
The Studebaker Avanti in one of it's many incarnations was produced in Canada. Lots of Ford F series trucks are assembled in Canada.

Timber wolf: for a car whose sales tax is $50K it should be a lot more than sexy, it shoud keep you warm at night, darn your socks, cook gourmet meals, etc. List price with a waiting list is $555,000 |
