The German-language Manager Magazin reported that Audi Chief Executive Rupert Stadler also wants a new factory in Mexico to produce the Q5. However, some of Volkswagen's top managers believe it would be more efficient for Audi to share production facilities at VW plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
As we have previously reported, Audi has long been aspiring to have its own production facility in North America to penetrate the U.S. market better.
Of the three German premium brands, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi does not have its own factory in the U.S.
The German magazine said a decision could already be made in October.
