The issues regarding quality aside (which I generally agree with you on. My sister's Nissan Sentra was built in Mexico, and it's given her no problems whatsoever), one thing I've wondered is, why are car manufacturers expanding in Mexico? Yes, the labor's cheap, but there's so much corruption south of the border. And I won't even go into the problems with the drug cartels. The article like the one you linked to above doesn't even mention that. Seems like the last place in the world a manufacturer would want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. |

I wouldn't want to hijack this thread any longer... suffice to say that there's a lot of layers to decisions such as this. But one thing's for sure: If you want your cars to be less expensive, this is the only way to do it.

While living in Texas, I am so close to Mexico right?
Since I've been to Mexico multiple times I can honestly tell you.. I'd never buy a car that has a VIN from Mexico. I think funding their corruption, Creating more means for them to commit crimes, and financially backing a country that is so volatile, It's not something I want to do.

Being that I'm from Mexico and have lived here almost all my life, I would say I'm closer than you are, right?
Since I've been in Mexico more times (and likely to more regions) than you, I can honestly tell you... The statement that you made above is not only pretty ignorant (and slightly offensive if you think about it), it's also completely off-topic, as I said before. I will gladly carry on discussing this subject if you want, but please let's do it in a more appropriate thread. Thanks. PS: You're free to do with your money as you please. That's usually the best way to exercise democracy. Even words can get in the way sometimes.
