GLB production for North America
Hi All, I heard the Mexico production plant for GLB is suspended at the moment, so where is GLB produced for North America, specifically for Canada ?
Also, any idea on where is the New GLA produced ?

I'm almost positive that all North American GLB production is in Mexico like the A-Class. GLA being on the front drive based/compact architecture is very likely being built in Mexico as well.
Where did you hear the Mexico plant is paused?

I got the Mexico production stopped info from 2 different dealer at Toronto... also saw Web news on MB decided to stop make A class sedan in Mexico as well. I also heard GLB is short on supply at the moment.
Net is I need a car by Nov... and If Mexico not making GLBs, where else will produce those ?
