I think one problem is the assumption that a car that isn't GM, Ford, or Chrysler built in the detroit area is a foreign car. If you look at the cars currently raced in Nascar (Impala, Charger, Fusion and Camry) Only the Camery is made in the USA. The others are built in Canada or Mexico.

Taking a quick perusal of the interent:
http://www.myride.com/industry/toyot...760-page1.html

Toyota now manufactures 10 vehicles in North America: the Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Sienna, Solara, Tacoma, Tundra, and Lexus RX330. Production of the Camry Hybrid will begin in the fall of 2006 in Kentucky and the RAV4 in 2008, in Ontario, Canada.

So until Toyota needs a bailout or one of the other foreign automakers building cars in canada and the US needs money the Big 3 shouldn't get any either.
