Just because it's not made in U.S. doesn't mean it can't be good quality. It all depends on the design criteria, manufacturing capacity,, quality control, and management. That being said, because I was a union machinist for almost 20yrs, I PREFER "Made in USA". That's why I only buy 'Murican cars, and I DO NOT repair foreign vehicles. You buy a foreign vehicle, you're on your own in my book.
