I was just in Mexico last weekend... Very 3rd world country-esque. Lower health standards (more)
and lower standard of living...
Germany is one of the strongest global economies.
I dunno what "better" means... but in cost savings, Mexico is better.
The cars are still "German-engineered" and I am sure that VW production engineers and manufacturing managers still set the rules at the Mexico plants.
It would be interesting to compare Euro Jetta's (called Bora's) with U.S. market to see which is better.

Not much different than the new Altima. HP is one thing, driving experience is a totally ...
different ball game. If there is a 240hp Accord sitting beside a 200hp Jetta GLI, I'll take the Jetta thank you.

That is why I bought a Audi. Much better car than the Accord.
But rumor is that Honda is going to make a phat Accord Coupe. Maybe call it the Prelude? It won't be an M3 but is is not supposed to be far behind. Think S2000 + Accord.
Keys for a day would you pick the 240hp S2000 or a Jetta GLX?

240hp VR6 TT Quartto - Does this car exist?
I drove an S2000, it is fun for a day. One day. After that it seems rough and it wears you out. I think the TT would be a much better daily driver.
