Thousands of workers here would probably disagree.

The expenditure to upgrade their US factories is probably one big hurdle that has stopped them already doing it, although i dont think with Holdens recent export success, they'd be willing to bargain their product with the tag of "Made in America". Right now it seems our products are viewed as higher product than those made stateside, whether true or not, there's perhaps a better business case to keep any American made vehicles to American consumption, whilst the Elizabeth plant deals with its current load of Aussie bound vehicles, and Europe bound exports.
