Quote: And Fords made in Mexico or Brazil are still American cars?
Sure they are. They are an American company. The cars are designed and built to the standards of the company that is an American company, so they are American cars.
If you go to a Mexican restuarant, it is Mexican food, not American food just because it was made in the U.S. If you go to a Mexican restaurant in Italy, it is still Mexican food, not Italian food.
