As a Tennessean, this is great news. The state is becoming a major player in the auto business.

Hope quality of manufacture is maintained to German standards & finish & detail is better than the staple diet of USA made vehicles from Ford, GM, Chrysler.
Perhaps Americans aren't as demanding in this aspect.

Once upon a time, ... in Chattanooga, Tennessee...
It was somewhere between the years of 1967 to 1970. A friend of ours who was renting an apartment from our family had a black Volkswagen bug. He told me he would sell it to me for $150 and he let me drive it around a little bit. I loved it, but was unable to buy it at the time -
Then, in the Air Force in Tucson, Arizona, between the years of 1971 and 1973, I had a roommate in the barracks who bought a Volkswagen bug... the strange thing about his
V-bug was that you didn't have to have a key to start it up; all you needed was a key to get in it. Unless someone forgot to lock it, that is. We went for a ride in it and came back to the base later on that evening.
As I laid there in my bed, old urges from my earlier life 'V-bug' experience started coming back to me. I was unable to sleep - I could not get the Volkswagen bug off my mind. After an hour or so of tossing and turning, I softly called his name. When there was no response, I called his name again, just a little louder.
Convinced he was asleep, I got up, put my clothes on and went outside... yep, to where the V-bug was parked. To my surprise, he had left it unlocked! Of all things- of all times!
The next thing I knew, I was driving all over the base in my roommates' Volkswagen.
I don't recall just how long I was gone, but I remember thinking how crazy my actions were - I would never do this sort of thing (in my right mind)! Geesh! I just couldn't resist the temptation of driving a V-bug,... just one more time!
I have never owned a V-bug or even driven one since that night. I surely don't recommend my actions that night to anyone, but the urge was just simply (or was it sin-ply) overpowering!
I don't know if I will be able to afford one of the new V-bugs when they start rolling off the Chattanooga assembly line, but if you see a short guy with white hair and a big smile on his face driving down the road in a new V-bug in the near future, just honk at me and wave because you will know that at least one of my dreams came true!
