The 'factory' is in Plano TX, I have driven past it. They do final assembly, and the production of some parts there. The cars are not entirely made over in Taiwan, only the injection molding and some stamped metal parts. The engines are also machined and assembled at the Plano plant, after the blocks and heads are cast somewhere else.
Unfortunately its easier and cheaper to have someone overseas to make parts for us. But then prices get jacked up and we pay out the ass for something that costs half as much to produce.
