While Volkswagen of America remains noncommittal toward those posing questions of their geographic wanderlust, Audi has declared that within five years they'll be outta the state of Michigan like a cheetah with a JATO unit strapped to its back. Audi of America's Executive VP, Johan deNysschen, has flatly declared at Frankfurt that it's "100% certain" will be vacating the Motor City and its surrounding state within five years. Possible locations include Atlanta, Chicago or New Jersey, home to the US arms of its historic Teutonic antagonists BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
