My R32 was 100% made in Germany:wink:

MK5 end of production 10/27/08
- Thread starter hughsey82
- Start date
The FSI/BPY is as well.
Final point of assembly is Wolfsburg, Germany but the total percentage of parts is definitely not 100% on mine and every other GTI I've seen. Won't have my window sticker in front of me until Monday, but hopefully someone else with access to theirs will chime in.
Yep, that's the case for all .:R32's; engine included. :w00t:

Yup, VIN on my rabbit starts with WVW---------------- and the means Wolfsburg Germany.
I believe the MKV rabbit, R32 and GTI are the only VWs sold in NA that are actually made in germany,
And IIRC the engine/tranny on both rabbit and GTI are NOT made in germany. i think the 2.5s were made in mexico, explaining why my car is at the dealership today after breaking down with only 3000 on the odometer.

I don't particularly care where mine is made... it's still the bees knees in my book.

My 08 Window sticker shows assembly in Wolfsburg with the engine coming from Hungry. Parts are 75% German with 1% US/Canada (would assume the other 24% is the Hungarian engine).
Not to jack this thread, but what 1% of the car was made in US, the side markers?

No if you look on the back they say made in Mexico
I wouldn't actually call it Mexican, but IIRC both the Jetta and GLI are assembled in Mexico. Unsure which city.
Edit: For the GLI at least, the parts are sourced from Germany (40%), Mexico (30%), US/Canada (6%); other 24% - unlisted :iono:
Final assembly point is Puebla, Mexico. Engine is from Mexico as well and the transmission (DSG in this case) from Germany.
Sounds exactly right. Thanks :thumbsup:
Oh and I'd also be quite curious to hear what that 1% is made up of. :iono:

Actually..... The first 'W' in 'WVW' is the old identifier for West Germany (now of course, just Germany).... Has nothing to do with Wolfsburg. Same reason North American cars start with '1'.....
Also, my Mini (prior to my GTI) started with the vin 'WMW' (for BMW) although it was built in Oxford, England.

There has not been a single news release about an MK6 GTI, 2009.5, 2010, or otherwise, so all of you cackling "I'm getting an MK6 GTI next year" pipe down. The only thing you're getting next year is an ugly ass, slow as molasses, 1.x liter fuel-efficient MK6 Rabbit.... IF... and that's a big IF... VW feels like it's worth it to its dealers to have them make $200 per Rabbit sold here in the U.S. Once the MK6 GTI is actually announced in Europe, then you can tack on about 1 year to the Euro release date and that's when you'll get your precious decontented MK6 GTI. M'kay?
