Among those who had read the labels, many said they used the country-of-assembly information, but none said they used the numerical U.S./Canadian parts content score. Overall U.S./Canadian parts content in new cars and light trucks dropped from an average of 70 percent in model year 1995 to 67.6 percent in 1988. However, it increased from 47 to 59 percent in transplants while dropping from 89 to 84 percent in Big 3 vehicles.
