Not sure what should be seen here but true it will cost less to have it made in Mexico and other parts of the world...:dontknow:
How about quality control, cheaper inferior parts. All ready questionable BRP customer service, made worst?
Meh. All the big 3 auto makers have vehicles made in Mexico as do some of the German makes such as VW.Quote:

They do have to meet the spec's and standards of the company they are assembling/building or making for. I still marvel at the fact that we and others can export our parts and materials abroad have them assembled/manufactured and import the finished product back cheaper than making them ourselves....:dontknow: they do seem to do a good job....
Far better Mexico than China. It's a benefit, is it not, to keep Mexicans employed ***in Mexico***?Quote:

i have said many times it is not just where it is made but by whose standards.
Exactly as several members above have stated. The issue should be Standards and Specifications as determined by, in this case Can Am and ultimately Bombardier.
Good point about keeping production in America rather than China. IMHO preferable.
If quality control is maintained at high standards, it really doe not matter where it is made IMO. Pretty sure a lot of the parts on our Spyders are manufactured outside
Canada.

No surprise. They had to get that sub $10K price point somehow. :thumbup:
As are alot of the aircraft parts today made elsewhereQuote:

These scores are important because they figure into which factories will benefit the most from funds being divided up for improvements or equipment. I can't speak for Can Am or any other corporation, but in my company the Mexican plant was always being praised for the quality and consistency of their work. Those fine folks take their jobs seriously and by the way they are also paid quite well and have a nice benefit and retirement package. No sweat shop wages for these folks. I will tell you where some of the savings come from and that is the fact that Mexico doesn't have as many government rules and regulations as we do here. I'm not saying that is right or wrong, I'm just saying it adds up to a lot of money being saved by companies. Wages aren't the only reason companies prefer to build south of the border.
The parts on our current Spyder's come from all over the world.. I remember seeing the rear hub said 'Made in Vietnam'.
So I'm sure the same parts just ship to Mexico now and they do the final assembly there.
Crazy how it all works these days.
I'd much prefer to support Canadian workers as I know Canada has good worker protections, wages, etc. . Not sure about Mexico pertaining to those things.
I do hope it sells well for them, but no way it will replace my F3....
