    the cadillac is an american made american brand car.

    most lexus and many BMW's are also made here in the US now although they are foreign owned.

    to find out if a specific car is made here, check the VIN. the first # will be a 1 or a 5 if it's made here in the US.

    2 = canada

    3 = mexico

    4 or J = Japan

    K= korea

    other numbers or letters signify other countries.

    Cadillac is American. It is under General Motors.

    BMW and Mercedes are German.

    Lexus is under Toyota, thus Japanese.

    The easy way to find out where a car is made, is to look at the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) located on the dash on the drivers side or on the drivers door. All American made vehicles will start with a 1, Canadian are 2, Japanese are J, Germany is W, multiple country of origin parts starts with a 3 or 4. Ford, Dodge, Chrysler and Chevy are made in Canada and Mexico as well as the States. Honda, Toyota and Nissan are more American made then many of the so called Domestics. Hope this helps.

    BMW - Bavarian Motor Works (German)

    Lexus - Toyotas Luxery division (Japanese)

    Mercedes-Benz - German

    Cadillac - American

    A car manufacturer might have a factory in the US, but that does not make them an American car. Toyota has factories in American and Canada, but they are a Japanese company and car, not American or Canadian.
