An article on the Huntsville newspaper's web site says that Chattanooga's incentive package was worth more $$$ than Huntsville's which caught everyone in AL offguard . . . keep your fingers crossed . . .

Huntsville has had close ties with Germany for years.  Several of the best German engineers lived and worked in Huntsville for years after WWII . . . I don't know that gives them any advantage, but when an engineer or manager from VW Ag is visiting, Huntsville has a Space Museum to show off how the US put a man on the moon . . . when they come to Chattanooga, we can show off how we moved freight and people with steam powered locomotives 100 years ago.  I don't know if that counts for anything or not . . .    :wink:

And if they want to look at fish or rocks, we got that covered too!   :lol:

Who knows !!    Maybe they will go back to Westmoreland PA. where they can let  the UAW screw up things big time building JUNK Rabbits like they did in the early '80s.
      My '83 GTI was the only new car that I  bought that PAINT was considered an option.  Getting VW to re-paint my car was like pulling teeth. Thank goodness I knew the tech. Rep in Atlanta very well. :wink:

Well they may actually be leaning more towards Alabama now: http://www.newschannel9.com/news/magazine_970063___article.html/german_assembly.html

Amen Brother!

Did we get it? I think so.
