Re: Chyrsler To Build Overseas and Toyota Builds In America - DCX Not American, Toyota Is

"Chrysler wants to add a subcompact to its U.S. lineup -- a car
smaller than the Dodge Caliber -- but can't produce one at a
low enough cost to generate a profit."

I would have thought that the article would have touched on why the
car in question could (or couldn't) be built in Canada - instead of a
developing country (the huge appreciation of the value of the CDN
dollar is presumably altering quite a few manufacturing plans).

What's really strange is that Mexico isin't mentioned as a possible
manufacturing location for this car.

Why has the buzz grown so loud over auto manufacturing in China?

What - is Mexico all tapped out? Or are there some intrinsic problems
(that aren't widely reported) about making cars in Mexico... ?
