I thought the ML's were built in Arizona?
Only the ML's are built there, I beleive the C230k is built in Brazil or some other South American country.

c230ks are only built in Germany. The sedan is built in Brazil. What is built in AL, I thought that is were the MLs were built?

Afghanistan cave rumor is correct! Positive import substitution.
Next target country will be Albania, less transportation costs & closer to headquarters.

2002 C230 K
C class construction locations:
Sedans: Germany (Sindelfingen), Brazil (Juiz de Fora; 7000 C-classes were produced here in 2001, 2.5% of the 281,600 C-classe sedans produced - my guess is most of these never leave the South/Central American market and we'll likely see very few of the Brazillian cars in the US) and South Africa (East London, right-hand drive versions for England, Austraila, South Africa, etc.)
Coupes: all in Germany (Sindelfingen, 59,000 sold in 2001)
Wagon: Germany (pretty sure from Sindelfingen, 52,600 sold in 2001)
BT
PS: DaimlerChrysler has an electronics factory in Huntsville AL, which is maybe why some thought the ML plant was there.
