[Help] Which Audis sold in Canada/US are imported from Germany?

How do I find out which Audi models sold in Canada are imported from Germany, and which are built and imported from Mexico?

Look at the VIN.

I assume the VIN is to check the origin of a specific car?

What if I'm just shopping for a car and want to avoid Mexico-made cars. Does the manufacturer list assembly information online?

Just from the quick searching I did it looks like the Mexico side is exclusively building the Q5 crossover while the German plants build the lions share of the Audi lineup looking like probably the whole A{#} and R{#} model lines.

If you are shopping new, the window sticker usually gives a breakdown.

It's the first digit in the VIN as Cho Baka said. To add to his post (and this is for all vehicles,) US built is 1.
