I think the closest car to being "American made" is Toyota. The big three already sold out!

Well your thinking is very wrong. One new American car
(even if it's made in Mexico) supports 10 times the number of Americans than one "American Made" Toyota.
The big three did not "sell out", but they sure are supporting everybody. Probably you too, in some way, and you don't even know it.
