The "import" may have been made in the US and the "local" brand built over there. Granted either likely had parts from anywhere other than where they were assembled. Tarrif hits it all - quality is very much to the model. Stellantis, Mitsubishi are reminders.

I never argued that any option is better. If one doesn't like it, move on. Most of those whining aren't supporting any project - it'd be better for the FOSS projects to not have to deal with them.
WIIILLLLSSSSOOOONNNN!!!!!
