Eh...Bob,
Soest?
When on my visit to the Audi factories last October, we were brought on
a tour of the A8 production line in Nekarsulm, Germany.  Alu. goes in
one end of the plant......A8 comes out the other end. Along the line you
can see these cars being virtually hand-built from start to finish. Now
I understand why they cost so much. I understand you to be correct about
ALCOA though.
