What’s the most American car that you can buy today and was built in the past 5 years.

My choice: Cadillac Escalade.

  3. Ford F-150 seems like the obvious choice, considering it’s by far the best selling

  8. What if scientists combined the Mustang and the F150? Could we handle that much American-ness?

  14. In terms of cars actually built here the Dodge Challenger is like 70% American and the Honda civic is pretty close behind. In terms something truly American, some custom job super duty diesel pick up truck with a cow catcher on the front and horns. Better have a lift kit, choice of custom horn sound, and a kick ass paint job the screams ‘merica. It will be like 90% after market parts and never finished.

  15. Suburban. It is the longest continually produced model in the world and has been made iconic for its use in media and by the government.

    12 generations have been produced since the 1930s there aren’t many Americans who haven’t ridden in one or at bare minimum seen one in person. The ones who
    haven’t rissen in one have almost certainly ridden in the other “Suburbans” such as the GMC Yukon/XL , Caddilac Escalde, or even the Chevrolet Tahoe which is practically the same vehicle with slightly different dimensions but the same frame, drivetrain, and 99% of the dame optional equipment.

  18. F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500.

    There are personal preferences, and the F-150 is the best seller, but they’re all full size half ton pickups.

  21. If you’re asking what car makes you think of America the most, probably any of the big 3 pickup trucks, if you’re asking the most American made i would say Tesla

  23. I would have to say the F150. You can get it from a basic work truck with a rubber floor, all the way up to a $100k luxury truck. There is a reason it sells like it does.

  28. I think the tacoma was the most USA truck, designed and built in the USA vs our nafta partners.

  29. Everyone in here is wrong. It’s clearly either the Willy’s Jeep or the Humvee.

  33. If you’re talking about a car with the most American built components I think it’s a Model Y but iconic I would say F150 or Mustang.

  39. Any generic truck with jacked up suspension and tow mirrors out.

    Bonus points if you’ve never used the truck for towing purposes. More bonus points if you don’t even have a hitch.

  40. Living in America now, the F150 no doubt. Back when I lived in Cuba, the Chevy Bel Air for sure.

  45. El Camino.

    A muscle car *with* a truck bed.

    Can’t get much more American than that.

  46. It’s gotta be the Mustang. F-150 is the best selling, and certainly very American, but “big American muscle car with a V8” is a trope for a reason. Non-American companies make pickups, but nobody but the Detroit 3 (and Holden, but they’re just GM with an Aussie accent) has ever made a real muscle car, and the Mustang has got to be the most iconic.

    The Corvette might be up there too, but while the C8 is pretty fucking awesome, it’s definitely lost some “American identity” by going mid-engine and getting that very “European supercar” styling.

  48. Ford F-150 if we’re going by strict sales numbers and commonality.

    Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye if we’re talking most “American” car ever.
