It's officially been five years since Volkswagen picked Chattanooga for its only production plant in the U.S.

The city beat out Huntsville, Ala., and the state of Michigan to land the billion-dollar auto plant.
And now VW officials in Chattanooga are making a strong case for assembling a new SUV here in 2015.

VW Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn says the company is committed to selling a seven-seat SUV in the U.S.
Chattanooga's competing against Mexico to produce the vehicle. A decision is expected sometime this year.
