guys dont forget that the new mercedes C-class is assembled in latin america, probably in argentina, this is the trend of the big automotive companies
it has alot of advantages:
1-decreasing the workforce cost
2-decreasing raw material cost
3-offer more diversified products
4-decreasing the load on the production plants in the main country
5- getting use of the reduced taxes in the other country
This doesnt mean that the quality of the product will be less,
its problem in my point of veiw is that in some countries (specially egypt)people are affraid of the product made in countries other than we used to know about
and i think this is the role of marketing people to transfer the concept of manufacturing cars in other countries to consumers
any one agree with me??
