My last job was a glass engineer for Toyota... plus I have a 9-5 with rain sensor and Pilkington glass. So far, I'm not a fan. It didn't take much time at all to become sandblasted. The rain sensor is so frustrating, it's almost useless- but IMO, that's more of an installation issue, and I despise Safelite for the many many issues I've had with their replacement service and workmanship.
Also, as dtech mentioned, PPG spun off their auto glass division and is now known as PGW.
Pilkington was originally a British company, but is owned by Nippon Sheet Glass (aka NSG) for the last few years. I've no idea where the 9-5 glass is made, though I know they have several facilities in the US.
