Unless you think VW will only sell this new midsize sedan for the next 12 months then stop production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Dollar is being devalued so much, it's actually more cost effective to build in America for the American market than to outsource assembly overseas and then ship them over here. http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/industry-news.asp?sectionID=1516&articleID=1098441 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it stated in the article that the plant won't open until Spring 2011 and they won't hire people until just before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even if they dont start work for another 12 months at least they have SOMETHING, maybe deliver pizza's in the meantime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS_Sonoma Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't know about 65,000 but it seems reasonable. There was a Saturn plant that closed located south of Nashville, so that would strengthen those numbers. Lottery...that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
