Zl1 LSA motor assembled in Mexico?

Saw that statement in the article in the link below:

And I'll bet those nice ZL1 wheels are made in China, just like the polished 20's on the SS. Don't you just feel all international inside?

No kidding. I economy is f'd cuz we outsource. Cuz if we dont our ZL1's would prob cost about $80k. And for import cars, cheaper to build here than ship everything from Asia. Go figure

And the profit stays in America and gets taxed in America rather than supporting Japan or Germany, among others.
