Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn tells Automobilwoche the company will decide within a few weeks whether to add Golf small-car production at its big assembly complex in Puebla, Mexico.
VW currently builds all Golfs at its factories in Wolfsburg and Zwickau, Germany. The company introduced its seventh-generation model earlier this year.
Automobilwoche says that model could go into production at Puebla as soon as the end of 2014. The facility already makes the Jetta, a variant of the Golf.
Winterkorn notes that VW's new auto plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., is already running at capacity. If the company expands that factory, he tells the newspaper, it would probably be to make a SUV larger than VW's Tiguan.
