BMW and
Hyundai may be joining the rush for the border that has already seen
Nissan,
Honda and
Mazda begin factory construction in
Mexico, while
Ford and
General Motors have both made significant investments in their Mexican facilities.
BMW's interest in Mexico has been apparent for some time, and while we'd heard grumblings about Hyundai's move into Latin America some time ago, the
last we heard about it was in 2009.
This new move, reported by
Bloomberg, doesn't get specific on which models will be produced south of the Rio Grande, and as neither automakers' spokespeople responded to the business site's request for statements, all we really have to go on are the statements of Mexico's Economy Minister, Ildefonso Guajardo: "I cannot talk for them, but I think that starting 2014 we'll have new announcements. At least for one." Which manufacturer that will be remains anyone's guess, although judging by all the
recent scuttlebutt that's been going around, the smart money seems to be on BMW. We'll stay with this one.
