<<<snip>>> Just conjecture of course, or perhaps wishful thinking since a South
American made EV could doubtless be sold here for less than a German one
(perhaps making them a bit more competitive).<<<snip>>>

If true, this IS exciting news!  Maybe, just maybe, the EV will be priced in the
range of a mid-level Chrapsler Mini-Thingy!  I mean, it stands to reason the VW
is moving this production to lower production costs.  And with the current price
of a EV approaching the $40K mark, anything is a improvement.  The quality issue
will no doubt raise it's head.  But I had a '88 Fox GL Sport that was made in
Brazil, bought brand new, and it ran for 193k miles without anything going
wrong.
