The irreplaceable part is the cheap skilled labor.

There's no way to protect assets located in a foreign country, so you'd be building new bucks. The trick is paying US labor rates for skilled people capable of hand forming aluminum to test fit on the buck. Not to mention the complex frame building process.

For it to work in the US you'd have to switch to stamped panels, since we're talking about some 14 die sets needed the cost would be considerable. But this would eliminate a lot of expensive, skilled labor.

According to David and Joe, the chassis components are made in Provo. Poland just produces the frame/body. From what I've seen they've invested quite a lot in their facility at home and have pulled a lot of tasks "in-house".

Ultimately the cars would become more expensive and exclusive than they already are, good for bragging rights, but bad in that less people could afford to enjoy them.

I can see the reaction already: "Gee, you actually have one of the Polish cars?"
