The plant in alabama is a manufacturing and assembly plant. The plant in TN will produce engines when its complete. Oh and the cars themselves are designed, engineered and tested in Michigan and California. Hyundai has invested a lot in north america and employs a lot of U.S. workers. That was my main point. I have no doubt that most of the parent company is still in Korea.
Even if its only assembly that takes place here, I'd hazard a guess that's still more U.S. made than my last american car.
