The CLA45's M133 engines are not built in Affalterbach - I think they are built outside Germany too (Czech/Hungary).
AMEN! You are preaching to the choir. The MBworld community would benefit by increasing the "knowledge base" in the W205 AMG forum.
OP - Just be happy you don't live in geographic region that will get the "made in China" or "made in india" version.

Yes, there was a thread on the Private Lounge that the 205 C63 will be built in Alabama. Only the engines will be built in Germany and shipped over. Not heard about them being built by Nissan. The CLA production however is to be moved in the future to be built by Nissan at their new plant in Mexico. Currenty they're built in Hungary. Nissan will also build their own car from the CLA platform. Kinda hard to call these German cars when they're built in Hungary, the US, let alone Mexico.

Not sure of any details. We know there is a partnership with Nissan, and AMG may provide engines for some unknown future model. It also stands to reason that Nissan brings alot of knowledge to the table when it comes to engine building, well the GT-R engine anyways...
Combine AMG and GT-R.. and who knows what we will get.. maybe the engine for the TARDIS

Yeah the W205 will be built in Tusculoosa AL! I drove past this factory many times when i was living in Birmingham.
As for the partnership with Nissan it will be profitable most likely for Nissan. They build good engines but lack the quality/luxury/touch MB has

The non AMG engines have not exactly been considered good engines, in fact I would hazard a guess that the MB V6 engines are utter crap, at least from any performance standpoint. the Nissan VQ series in the FX35 prior to 2009 sounded absolutely beastly (being tuned by Yamaha helped)
