According to an interview that VW Group’s CEO, Martin Winterkorn gave to German newspaper Handelsblatt, the final decision will be made before the company’s mid-July meeting.

Winterkorn also told Handelsblatt that the VW Group has made up a list of three U.S. States that qualify for the new plant: Alabama, Michigan and Tennessee. If VW's U.S. plans gets the green light, apart from VWs, the plant will also build Audi and quite possibly, Porsche models
