Actually I had a bad experience with Subaru and Mitsubishi and then learned that both are build in the same plant. By same token Honda produces highest quality cars and motorcycles in Ohio and Jeep produces the worse quality Jeeps in Ohio. Same state, I guess it is dependent on management and process. Look where Porsche build it’s cars.

My American built Subaru Legacy GT is severely lacking in the quality department as was my Impreza RS.

moto-racer13, American build Honda are not any worse then their Japanese counterpart and much better then those build in UK. American workers are extremely creative and productive, given an opportunity. Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, BMW know how to provide opportunity, domestics not so much. If you’ve seen workers from former Soviet block you would be shocked as I am that Porsche build anything there. But they do a good job for Porsche. M-B quality problems even in Germany 5-6 years ago.

smart move for Porsche. Everyone knows American assembly line workers are lazy, greedy, and sloppy. Porsche see’s how crappy the American made Benze is, so they don’t want Porsche to be known as the cheap American made car.

Please build a Cayenne factory in the US. I want to throw rocks at the building.

Who would thought 20 years ago that 2 East Block countries can build a working Porsche? Bratislava and Leipzig were in East Europe under Soviet regime. It is not exactly 911, but still better then Drabant.
