No sooner had the national debate on why Detroit is failing dropped off page 1 than the Automotive News published its list of the Top Ten Most Efficient Automobile Assembly Plants in North America. Here is that list, showing how many work-hours these factories take to build one vehicle.
1. Chrysler Toledo – Jeep – 13.6
2. GM Oshawa 1 – Impala – 15.1
3. GM Oshawa 2 – Grand Prix – 16.1
4. Chrysler Belvidere – Caliber, Patriot – 17.0
5. GM CAMI – Chevy Equinox – 17.5
6. Ford KC 1– Escape, Tribute – 17.7
7. GM Lordstown – Cobalt – 18.1
8. Chrysler Jefferson N – Grand Cherokee – 18.6
9. Chrysler Brampton – 300, Charger – 18.8
10. GM/Toyota Nummi – Corolla, Vibe – 18.8
You will immediately notice that of the Top Ten Most Efficient auto factories in America, the first nine are Detroit automakers, and in position No.10 you will find the General Motors-Toyota California plant. What is missing from this honors list is anything operated stateside by Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz or BMW...

The article gets better from there, on everything from oil prices to global warming.
