With the 4th of July Holiday coming soon, Cars.com has updated its annual American Made Index to help you identify the top ten cars that are the most American in terms of their parts, where they’re produced and their popularity.

There’s no easy way to determine just how “American” a car really is. Many cars built in the USA, for example, are assembled using parts that come from another country. Some cars assembled in the USA from American-made parts don’t sell very well, meaning that fewer Americans are building those models.

Cars.com’s American-Made Index highlights the cars that are built here, have the highest amount of domestic parts, and are bought in the largest numbers by Americans. Cars must have a domestic-parts-content rating of 75 percent or more to be considered for the list. Cars.com uses the figure that appears alongside the window sticker of new cars to determine a car’s domestic parts content. If a car is going to be discontinued in the near future, it was also disqualified.

General Motors has a total of four cars on the list with Ford and Toyota each claiming three spots in the top ten. For more information about the American Made Index, visit Cars.com.
