I find it interesting the Mercedes C class sold in the Chinese marketis made in China. I wonder if the components are sorced locally as well.
The 2001 C240 I drive is made in Germany as is all C classes sold in the US. At least I think the newer C class sedans sold in the US are all still made in Germany.
