Is the VW Passat really built and manufactured in Germany? Well, yes and no. Most of the parts come from China. The transmission is a Japanese design. You will find this type of manufacturing across the board. I will say this Duci, I would not buy a Jetta assemblied in Mexico. No way. No how. Some of the poorest assembly quality seen just about anywhere. Would I buy a Toyota built in the USA and expect high quality craftsmanship? Certainly and for the most part the American working in these US factories deliver.
I do understand your point about being 100% American designed and made in the good ole USA!
