My 2016 C7 says US engine too, but we are not talking about 2016s
Really whats the difference anyhow, I have a 2016 GMC, 2016 C7 and a 2017 Acura and the the Acura has the highest US canadian/US parts, 72%. The 'American' truck has 45% lol. C7 is 65% if I remember.
And I'm sure those factory workers in Mexico are quite the model citizens.
I spent a lot of time alongside Mexican factory workers and salaried staff when the parent company I was employed with at the time made the questionable decision to move all their North American electronic manufacturing operations to Tijuana.
Everyone of the Mexican people I met working there seemed like genuinely nice, welcoming people working hard to feed their families and better themselves.
It's the ones who are not working in factories you need to keep an eye on.
We have an SQ5 and I won't buy another made anywhere else except Germany.
Your paying a premium for the country of origin. If they want to cut the price 10K, fine but they are not.
Audi is getting huge negative feedback from customers on it.
We also have an Audi SQ5 ...has been excellent including the A8 ...
Lets wait to pass judgement regarding what comes out of Mexico compared to Germany .... although I do understand your concern ..however we are not comparing Mexico to Germany in this thread ...
My 2016 was made in 9/16 and has US engine and a M7 made in Mexico.
Considering that this is 8/16 having your 2016 MY Corvette built next month is quite an accomplishment. But, I do have to ask. Why is GM still building 2016's along side the 2017 models?
GM has had their Corvette's manual transmissions built in Mexico since 1997. Nothing surprising in that.
I would guess so. Since we know the transmissions are built in Mexico, this could be a simple transition error. Seeing anything in print does not make it gospel truth.
Difficult to read, but I think that that window sticker is for a car with an automatic transmission, which is made in the USA, thus the sticker could not be a transition error.

My contact at the Tonawanda plant today said they had no knowledge of Corvette LT1 engines being produced in Mexico. They were going to do some checking and confirm that information.
