some benzes are made in south africa and some audis are made in hungary. Just sayin'
If you think the quality of your car sucks, blame the accountants and management first, not the engineers, and not the assemblers. It all ultimately comes down to the execs. Also, if a car built in Mexico feels cheap, the last person I would blame is the mexican man/woman on the assembly line. I don't know where people get the idea that Mexican labor is inferior.
Behavior can be ignorant...you said we ARE ignorant. Big difference.
That's a good call out. Engineers have to work within a cost allowance which is dictated further upstream. I'm sure they try and make the most with what they're given.
The German engineering is what makes the difference, not the manufacturing.
The GTI will always be made in Germany.
I'm a little late to this one.
I've owned German cars, Made in Germany, Mexico and Brazil. And multiple cars from each country. Honestly the best car I've owned are the ones put together in germany. My old MKIII made in mexico was pure garbage, just like my Jettas made in mexico. Pure cheaply made crap, they sounded like tin cars. My wolfsburg Jetta was amazing.. HUGE difference, my MKVI GTI made in Germany amazing.

I'm sure some good cars come out of the Mexico plant, but it seems like more Garbage comes out of that plant than good ones!
IMHO a german car should come from Germany!
This is not directed completely at you, but rather these posts about the quality of the car being based on the point of assembly. If a car sounds like a tin can and has cheap plastics, etc, that has very very little to do with point of assembly, but rather the engineering, and ultimately the budget of the build.
