Why? If they meet the same requirements you get the same product.
A Porsche built to Porsche standards will be the same if built in Mexico or Germany. A Dodge Colt built to Dodge Colt standards will be the same if built in Mexico or Germany. Mexico manufacturing gained it's reputation because they built the cheap stuff stuff like the Dodge Colt. It is an unrealistic and very outdated reputation but will be the bias of many Americans forever. Those revolutionary automotive management systems that were developed in Japan back in the 60s are standard for any large company worldwide now. Our plants in Mexico are state of the art with all the same requirements as the ones in Germany, Japan or the USA. Get the picture of poor, uneducated, Juan, slapping parts together in an adobe hut for $5 a day out of your head and come into 2019.
