the chinese are outsourcing manufacturing to the US? WTF?
I've also noticed that Toyota is running an ad about how some of their cars are assembled in the US. I wonder why it's cheaper to do it that way?

toyota's been running those ads since americans been japanese car bashing back in the 80's & 90's. not necessarily cheaper, but just better pr for toyota.
for china, perhaps not necessarily cheaper, but better quality and hopefully start off with a better image than makers like hyundai had with their poor quality when they started out. cost them 10year/100kmile to try to break that image...with limited success
