German engineering courtesy of Chattanooga, Tennessee?  Yep, you heard me right. 

Before I started at Checkered Flag years ago, I was one of those customers who thought all "foreign" cars were produced outside of the U.S..  Apparently, I wasn't the only one.  While working in our sales office I had call after call of customers requesting vehicles that were built here in the good ol' U.S.A..  I loved letting our Checkered Flag fans in on a little secret-plenty of our Checkered Flag new and used cars are made right here!   And, Checkered Flag Volkswagen is about…

Sure, he drives around in a new 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, but that doesn't make him a tree-hugger; it makes him a woodsman.  And…
