This is what we can deduce from a recent statement by the CEO of Volkswagen for the middle Automotive News and confirming the rumors about the possibility that the German brand manufactured in Mexico the new Volkswagen Golf. However, it has also made it clear that this decision will be meditated quietly and the final answer will be given for the month of December this year.
Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen, says it is true that the brand is considering the possibility of the seventh generation of this compact car to manufacture in Mexico. It would be built on the ground that the mark is in Puebla.
At first the rumors pointed to Chattanooga as the site, but this plant is almost at the limit of its production and of course would not output to demand that this new generation will. One of the advantages of manufacturing in North America the new Golf, the savings would import costs and easier to sell this product in that market.
Recall that the new Volkswagen Golf also will be manufactured at two plants in China and the brand has in Germany. When the brand makes a decision or another we will let you know.
