[DML] Re: DML: Mid-Ohio Raceway (humorous ending)

I have a question,
I keep hearing it argued back and forth but I'd rather hear it from
somone who knows...

The car was designed by an American, (then re-designed by an Italian).
It was prototyped in the US, the main offices were in the US. the pres
was/is American born and resided durring the time of the car. 
It was built in Ireland, then re-built at the "Quality Centers" in the
US to fix a multitude of errors. (some cars receiving over 100 hours in
re-work.) And it was built to be sold in the American market above all
others.

Let's look at this in another way, would you consider a Honda, Mazda, or
Subaru to be American cars? All three have plants in the US to build their
cars for domestic sale.

In the grand picture, the car was built in the 80's before the "content"
rules took effect. So is the car American, or is it Irish/British? And
once the statment is made, will everyone agree? 
I've always considered the car a US car and not a Brit car.
