Does it really matter where the money goes, if you really want to get into it like that do your research... the number one European smelters (which provide all the aluminum for the vehicles) is an American/Australian based company by the name of Rio Tinto/Alcan. That means most all the cars produced in Europe are produced with metal from there lands but the profits go to us. In addition, the paint used on all the cars over there (tend to be Dupont) is in conjunction with Dow industries and all of that money again comes back to the US. Im sick of hearing people complain about our money going over seas when they dont really know where are money is going.
