Motor City Mojo: Still Rollin' Out Rides in Detroit?
Ah, Detroit. The Motor City. A place where chrome gleams brighter than your future after a night out at a dive bar (just kidding... mostly). It's a city steeped in automotive history, the birthplace of muscle cars and the soundtrack of cruising down Woodward Avenue with the windows down. But is Detroit still crankin' out cars like it used to? Buckle up, gearheads, because we're about to take a hilarious joyride through this question.
The Big Three (or Maybe Two, or Maybe More Like Four?):
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Let's be honest, when you think Detroit cars, you probably think of the big names: Ford, General Motors (GM), and Chrysler (now part of Stellantis, but that's a story for another time). Now, these guys are still definitely in the Detroit game, although their factories might not be pumpin' out cars like they were in the good ol' days of poodle skirts and drive-in movies.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
- GM: They've got their hands on the new Factory Zero churning out electric vehicles (EVs) like the Hummer EV, so basically a silent apocalypse for pedestrians (just kidding... again).
- Stellantis: They're keeping the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango rolling off the assembly line at Jefferson North Assembly, so you can still pretend you're off-roading on your way to the grocery store.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.

| What Cars Are Made In Detroit |
But Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Hold on to your hubcaps, because Detroit isn't a one-trick pony (or should we say, one-horse carriage?). There are a bunch of other smaller automakers keeping the Motor City spirit alive. We're talkin' about companies like Cavnue, which is building self-driving shuttles that might take you places... eventually (hopefully!).
So, the answer is: Yep, Detroit's still putting out cars, but it's a different scene than it used to be. It's all about innovation these days, with a healthy dose of electric dreams and maybe a sprinkle of self-driving confusion.

FAQ: Detroit Car Edition
How to tell if a car is made in Detroit? - Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). It'll usually start with a digit between 1 and 5, indicating a US-made car. But that's just the first step, you might need a magnifying glass and a degree in automotive archaeology to decipher the rest.
How to visit a Detroit car factory? - Some factories offer tours, but be prepared for lots of safety regulations and maybe a hard hat that makes you look like a giant mushroom.
How to build your own car in Detroit? - Not likely unless you've got a spare garage the size of a football field and a team of mechanical engineers on speed dial. But hey, if you do, more power to you (pun intended).
How to avoid getting stuck behind a self-driving car in Detroit? - Let's be honest, that's a gamble you take anywhere these days. Maybe pack a good book and some snacks, just in case.
How to convince your significant other that a new Detroit-made car is a good investment? - Play the "supporting local businesses" card and maybe throw in a guilt trip about the environment if you're going electric. Just be smooth about it.
