The company told AP it was still examining its options in the country after German auto industry weekly Automobilwoche reported on Monday that the Wolfsburg-based car maker, Europe’s biggest, wanted to build an assembly plant near Moscow by 2007.


The Associated Press noted that VW has made no secret of its desire to have a plant in Russia, in part to take advantage of the market there, but postponed any decision earlier this year.
