Classe move to China

Will moving to China devalue the brand? Will quality suffer?

To me? Absolutely.
I work with a company that moved some of its manufacturing to China and the initial product suffered horrible reliability problems.
The job loss is an even more important aspect. Two years ago I was shopping for a new car for my wife. We narrowed it down to a Ford or a Toyota. The Ford was made in Mexico, the Toyota in Kentucky. Made in USA was the deciding factor.

Timrhu, just because A company failed doesn't mean Classe will fail. Ultimately their customer will let them know one way or the other.

Didn't say the company failed. In fact they moved production back to the original country (Sweden) until quality control issues were corrected.

The last $60,000 plus has been Detroit (2012 Ford Focus)

Are you sure that Focus was built in the US and not Mexico? Check the label.
