I think the Alabama plant is a bit like the E class plant in China that builds E's in China for the Chinese market ONLY. The 2014 C, nailed together by Americans is going to be sold ONLY in the states. Frankly the fact they are building Nissan engines in Tennessee for a Mercedes Benz is a bit disgusting.
For instance; a common game we play is Merc Spotting. First one to point at and verbally say "Mercedes" gets one point. Alabama garbage cans are -1 point, and special MB's (anything sixties or older, or any modern rare stuff) are worth 2 points.

Personal opinions are just that. But when you can back up your senseless blather with something known as FACTS, get back to me. Strange that every single issue I had with the 3 ML's I owned had nothing to do with being built in Alabama but rather the shiatty drive train issues, electrical parts and technology supplied and built in Germany. But, put all these cross platform issues in a shell welded together and painted by robots in Alabama, it becomes a trash can. Forgive me for making the observation that I KNOW you're talking out of your hind end with your prejudiced thinking. Fact train starts now. Go!
