They're building a van in Mexico to sell in Europe, South America and yes North America because that's how the economies of scale and trade agreements work best for this type vehicle. Nissan also builds it's van there which NYC picked for taxi over the American built Ford C-Max.

Fiat is a worldwide company that has had a major South American presence for years. Fiat is the top seller in Brasil. Besides. unlike Japan which doesn't buy foreign cars hardly at all, Americac companies sell a lot of cars in Mexico, so it's fair trade as opposed to the Japanese trade predators.
