Is the Telluride American or Korean?

This is my first Non American Brand Vehicle. Major selling point for me was that it was Designed in California and Built in Georgia.

Many companies(one yellow tool company comes to mind) will use the term "Assembled in USA with global materials". Does that make it American or Global? In this day in age, does it make a difference? Made in USA, with or without American made parts does not hold any weight for me. Telluride is a good car no matter where it was made. Palisade is made in Korea and it is just as highly regard as the Telluride. But to answer your question, it is a Korean car built in USA.

it is a Korean brand. The car is made in America from American components for the most part. Only parts that are identical to the palisade are delivered to USA.

Another question with the reverse scenario. Are Chinese built/assembled Apple iPhones American or Chinese smartphones?

each product and / or brand is unique. The iPhone is an American brand, made in China from Chinese and Korean components. There is nothing American about the iPhone except the brand, technology and idea.

Assembled in U.S. 50% of components are from U.S. and Canada, 45% from S. Korea. I think that makes the car more American than Korean. Plus, U.S. home office is Irvine, CA, and Irvine is may maiden name! But it’s still a Korean company.

that's what I think my telluride is so defective. There is just 5% of the details missing.
