All engines are corporate these days. Lexus and Toyota share engines, so too Inifiniti and Nissan. As do all the GM brands. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda share engines. It's a necessary economy of scale. Once upon a time, things were different. But that ws once upon a time.
Iacocca may have done one Colt commercial. It was in the lineup in the days when Mitsubishi and Chrysler were partners. But that's beside the point. Iacocca helped save an American company and his commercials were integral to that process. Sometimes it's not about where something it's made. it's about where the money goes when it's sold.
