Yup all Mazda's are made in Japan. And Ford doesn't own Mazda they only have 33% of the shares. The cars they make are hardly related though. For example I drive a Mazda 3 which was built off the Ford's global C1 platform. So people make the connection that it is similar the Ford Focus. But it's the European Ford Focus that it is similar to, and the platform was designed by Volvo. So people always jump all over Mazda because they think they are made by Ford which is a giant stretch. Most car companies have a stake in the other. Heck, Chrysler and Mercedes Benz are affiliated.
