Re: [DML] DMC to be in a new PS2 game

[Jon Heese <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It really isn't a matter of opinion.  If a car is manufactured by an 
American company, it is an American car.  It really has nothing to do 
with where it is assembled or sourced, and even less to do with where 
the founder of the company resided or where the profits "went" to.

You make a logical fallacy by discounting the Toyota comparison.  No one 
said that Toyotas are Japanese because they are built in America or that 
all of them are built in America. They said that they are Japanese *in 
spite* of the fact that some were built in America.

DeLorean Motor Company (or at least some reflexive affiliate) 
manufactured the car, and DMC was based in the US, so the car is an 
American car, by all standards.
