Volkswagen will purportedly make decision regarding US plant by July 8

It has been talked about a lot over the last couple of months and many states have been tossed around as a possible location for the forthcoming Volkswagen plant in the US. Auto Motor und Sport claims that Alabama and Tennessee are on the shortlist, with Michigan out of the picture as possible locations. We should know the final decision by the 8th of this month.

The $788 million plant may be up and running as early as 2011 and Volkswagen hopes to achieve a realized capacity of 300,000 units per year. No word on what vehicles will be built on the line.
