German made excellence... There is no substitute! Isn't that what they've been trying to sell us for generations?

My German made 1994 VW Golf VR6 has traveled well over 300,000 kilometers without any major issues.
How has the Mexican assembled 1994-98 Jetta VR6 fared in comparison?
Agree. If I buy a Ford Focus made in Mexico I'm not thrilled about it but oh well, it should be fine.

If I buy a Porsche I want it to be made in Germany. It's part of the whole image they're trying to sell the public (tooling through the Alps in your Carrrera, etc.). I'm buying German engineered and built.

BMW will start building 3 series in Mexico. Will the customer get the same break in price proportionate to the savings BMW will have by not building them in Germany?

If you're shopping for a new Buick take a close look at the sticker, some US models are made in China now.
