The quality control is often not the same though. VW products when they moved plants to Mexico were a complete disaster. So much that VW was able to charge a premium on "Wolfsburg" editions made in Germany. There still is a tangible difference in quality between the BMW SUVs made in South Carolina and the BMW products made in Germany. The gap has reduced over the years but the BMW SUVs (which were all assembled in S Carolina) were absolute quality disasters too when they were introduced.
