New VW factory in America

[anthony]

I have been reading artacles this week stating that Volkswagen are looking at sites to build a new factory in The United States.
This year the plant in Mexico is going to be at full capacity,producing 450000 units,and a new factory will be used to grow sales,and offset the dollar.
The factory will more than likely be in the south of the country,close to Mercedes and BMW,and will most likely produce the next generation Jetta for domestic sales,as well as exports to Europe.
At least 200000 units will be built each year.

Building for US domestic will help free up the production lines for RHD models out of De and SA!

VW must be doing it hard trying to keep to their price point in the US after the fall of the USD.
There have already been lots of complaints coming from canada about how their dollar almost has parity and the price difference in the cars is huge between the two countries.
