Sweden's car production seems to have dropped from 300k/year in the 1970s to less than 200k/year, so it doesn't look great. Meanwhile Mexico grew their production by 10X in the same time frame [2]

Correct, Sweden has moved forward and is no longer just a manufacturing economy.

My question to you. Would you rather drive a Swedish made car or one from Mexico?

The car I bought is from Mexico so I guess that answers the question.

I don't think it answers the question - I bought a Windows laptop because it's more affordable, but I'd rather be driving a Mac, hardware-wise. Does the same concept not apply to you and your car, or others who have chosen a Mexican made car over a Swedish one?
