Maybe.

Maybe not - Alan Petrillo posted an article a while back about car
companies merging, which showed that some of the "foreign" cars are
more American than the American cars.

"The U.S. tax system puts global companies at a decisive
disadvantage," John Loffredo, the vice president and chief tax
counsel for Chrysler and its successor, DaimlerChrysler, told a
hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee on June 30, 1999, just
20 years after his predecessors had gone, hat in hand, to beg
Congress for a bailout. "This issue became a major concern and when
the time came to choose whether the new company should be a U.S.
company or a foreign company, management chose a company organized
under the laws of Germany."
