Well, I'm HOPING that Ford will tool-up for some of the NA production to happen here in NA, and that may assist in the failing dollar VS Euro situation. The GTI is still produced in Germany, but shipped here, and I was told that Volkswagen is making VERY little profit per unit sold in order to keep consumer costs down, and make it up in volume.
I can't see the logic of producing a European built B-seg, that will help support a European built Focus, only to have both platforms support the Euro dollar with weak American dollars.
Remember, it's supposed to be a global platform, NOT a Euro platform merely shipped to the states.
