Do I need to stick to a American made, union built auto when I get a new vehicle?
I remember the big buy American push from the late 80's and early 90's and I wonder if me showing up in a Hyundai or VW could damage my reputation (I do realize some of them are built in the USA).
The company: mostly union workers like diesel mechanics, machinists, welders, etc. It's not an auto company.
Position: non-union company management supervising above mentioned union employees.
I know my work speaks for itself. Should I be concerned about this as the new guy making first impressions?
Right now I have a Jeeps and a Mustang, but would like to pick up something less expensive to operate.

There's a good chance that union mechanics and welders will not recognize that every automobile on the road is an eclectic mix of on-shore and off-shore components and businesses. It's pretty tough to figure out today what American made truly is, but familiar brands will likely cast an impression if it's important to you.

If you are concerned about the appearance, then buy American and ensure that it's American made.
My current car is German but made in the US. One of my old cars was American, but made in Japan.
If you are the new guy, wait before getting a new car. Take the temperature of the workers to see if you think it will cause a problem. From there, you will have to work out if you *care* what the others think of your car.
