It's like buying a VW made in Mexico. (not the Tourareg, but stuff like the Jetta)
The Jetta or "Bora" has always been made, well for a long time in Mexico, along side one of the world's best selling cars the Golf/Rabbit, I think that having it built it in Europe has a prestige with it, They Almost talk about the Passat/Tourareg being built in Europe as if it's because of their price, the 3 is so popular that, like the VW Golf/Rabbit and Toyota Corolla it must be built in many factories world wide to keep up with demand
