Bloomberg notes that Audi, Honda, Mazda and Nissan currently are constructing final assembly plants in Mexico. Ford and General Motors are expanding capacity in the country.
Mexico's booming auto industry made 2 million vehicles in the first eight months of 2013, up 4% from the same period last year, according to the industry's trade group. Nearly 80% of the output is exported, primarily to the Americas.
