And they sill cost an arm and a leg there. And even though they will probably use identical manufacturing technologies as they use other places, I don't know if the quality will be the same. Had many Brazilian products, assembled and completely manufactured there and they were very poor quality.

Let's see.

I must confess have that same perception of products assembled in china, but still apple did well, right? ;)

The thing about quality is that China made investments on that regard, not only the companies, but the government with infrastructure and other things.

The price won't change to what you see today, it never changed and probably never will. Cars manufactured and assembled in Brazil still cost more than similar assembled abroad.
