I'm not seeing anything that says made in America. They use the verbage.........."manufacturers world-wide."

I was reacting to an earlier post when I got excited about American made.  Just watched the Automann video, looks like they source globally in addition to USA plants.  Impressive video.

Automann USA  Lots of stuff gives it away, especially the nn. Got to be German. What's wrong with that? Continental is an outstanding company.  Labor is cheaper here plus they don't have to give German vacations or health plans or deal with unions if they give the employees the shaft.

My new air bags installed by Parliament Coach 5 yrs ago were made in Mexico. Never had a bit of trouble with them. I would stay away from air bags made in China.
