Seems silly not to. Factories can be bought/leased for very good prices given all the recent downsizing. I would assume it would be the typical bolt them together chicken tax avoidance like with the Sprinter i believe. I can't see them investing in "actual" manufacturing until they sell them here for a few years unless they really think the dollar is going to drop...

If you look at their facility in Brazil it is not very large or sophisticated. Not much larger than an college gym. Bodies moved about on forklifts. Engines moved on dollies. It looked like they had one stamping machine for the doors.
