prior to launching the 981, porsche had announced plans to no longer farm the work out to valmet and to bring it back in-house to the zuffenhausen plant.

it's the same plant that produced the 914, the 968 as well as the ghia and the merkur and has an output of around 100k vehicles per year. according to another story i read it is supposedly the planned main production facility for the cayman.

i think it comes down to financial rather than build quality. pay people you already employ to make a car or pay a third-party to make it...
