This is our second segment about what  "Made in America" means when it comes to motor vehicle manufacturing.  While the federal government mandated source labeling to be included on all passenger cars and light duty trucks sold in the United States starting with the 1994 model year, the federal requirements are problematic with respect to how and what information is aggregated.  Enter American University's Kogod School of Business and their annual Made in America Auto Index.  Championed by Frank Dubois, the Kogod Index attempts to resolve a number of the shortcomings in the federal data, while including several data points that make the Kogod Index more relevant to American motorists.
