WTF!
According to Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche
The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLA could be built in Mexico at a Nissan plant.
We know 2018 is a long way ahead but Mercedes-Benz is already thinking about the second-gen CLA. According to Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche, the CLA could be produced at a Nissan factory located in Aguascalientes, Mexico once the second generation arrives in 2018.
Zetsche said Nissan will expand the plant to facilitate additional production. (((Interestingly, Nissan will also build its own version of the second-gen CLA which will wear the Infiniti badge.))) A final decision will be made at the beginning of 2014.
Revealed earlier this year at NAIAS, the 2014 CLA (along with AMG version) is manufactured at the Kecskemét plant in Hungary. Deliveries in Europe started in April, while United States will have to wait until September.

What is wrong with being built in Mexico? You probably think that the quality is lower but that is the general misconception. The facts are that the people that actually build these cars are well trained and take advance training courses.
The machinery is the same no matter where you go. I wouldn't worry, I am sure Mercedes headquarters already figured it out

The new US bound GTI will be made in Mexico as well, as most of VW products already are. Seems to be the trend.

Ford was producing the escape and fusion in Mexico, they decided to produce the MKZ there as well but after the issues with the escape, they were sending the MKZ back to detroit for an extra inspection.

Ford has moved Fusion production back to US in Flat Rock.
Say what you will, but I will not buy a Mercedes Built in Mexico.
