I don't think the numbers really tell the full story. Although they do attest to how much work the automotive industry has provided to the populous in each of the those manufacturing countries. Other than that the chart represents cars produced regardless of where brands originated. Mexico, Brazil, Canada feature up and down the scale but they have no brands to call their own, they build cars of other nations. In fact a large percentage of vehicles built in those countries are U.S. brands and in the case of Brazil & Mexico also German brands.

I've always had a 'thing' about trying to buy a car built in its country of origin as opposed to an outsourced factory somewhere else. Probably makes no real difference to build quality, but I like the authenticity of it. Out of 29 cars owned and 9 company cars over 50 years, only 4 failed the test. The rest were built where they were conceived right up to my present Detroit built Jeep.
