If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts."

There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list:

• (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86
• (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86
• (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5
• (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81
