Generally considered American, with significant US design, engineering, and/or manufacturing:
* General Motors (GM): Owns Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac. While they have international operations, they're still fundamentally an American company.
* Ford Motor Company: A major American automaker with a strong domestic presence.
* Stellantis: This is a merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA. While it's a multinational corporation, its Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and Dodge brands are strongly associated with American car culture and have significant US manufacturing.
Less clear-cut or with significant foreign ownership:
* Tesla: While designed and headquartered in the US, Tesla's global reach and supply chains make it less straightforwardly "American" than the above.
It's important to note that even companies listed as "American" often have significant international operations and parts sourcing. "American" in this context usually refers to their primary market, headquarters, and historical roots.
