Now that the motor industry is global, I wonder if the US brands make cars with metric fastenings now?
Does anyone know?

The Ford Cyclone engine and German designed Ford MT82 gearbox in my Roadster both use metric fittings. Ford have built such for nearly twenty years. In fact the switch from SAE to metric fittings in mainstream US car brands started as early as 1973! It took Morgan another 46 years before they fully adopted metric fittings in their cars
