Just food for thought, Mexico city has a 9 year policy for cars. As soon as your car becomes 9 years old, you can no longer use it every day of the week. Which means people will be looking to buy a new car every 5 to 8 years. Officially, this reduces pollution, unofficially, this makes the auto industry in Mexico VERY profitable, and government taxes a yearly 3% on the original purchase price, and bi-yearly smog checks about 40 usd each. No wonder sales have gone up that much, considering that people there who can buy a BMW don't mind changing it before the term ends.
Where I'm going with this is that you will be seeing a lot more automotive plants going up in Mexico, and the government is expected to have open arms for them because local production yields more tax and less imports due to high demand on cars.
