I have always thought highly of Optima as they came on the seen as an innovator to some extent. I have an Optima in my FFR and have had no problems even with extended periods of boring garage life
.
However, I read on another forum back a few months that Optima had decided to move their manufacturing to Mexico. Is that true? Hearing about the move of manufacturing was sort of a ding against them from my perspective. I just hope they don't do like many seem to and become marketing powerhouses primarily, lose focus on being innovative and just build stuff as cheaply as possible. I guess that works out in the short term ...
