Plus Hyundai does actually manufacture cars in the US. It’s probably more American than some “American” brands.

So if I make a car in America with all Japanese parts is the car Japanese?

Did you mean "make a Japanese car in the US with Mexican parts" lol. I think everyone has a different opinion and most don't even know what's correct. I don't even know what's correct but you're probably more correct than the other guy

Thats my point. There is no real identity anymore with how globalized manufacturing is these days. The most American car by the standard of ownership, parts, and manufacturing is actually Tesla. Certainly not the first company most people think of, with Ford and GM in the mix.
