Dear ben916,
talking about the Dollar factor... you might already know, the Audi factory (San José Chiapa, Mexico) construction contract has been approved. Production start (planed as of today: Audi Q5 and Audi A4) is scheduled for early 2016. The factory design has the capability to build the whole range of MLB based products and provides an opportunity to add the MQB and MSB plattforms by demand.
Most likely the Dollar factor will lose its severity, good for both US customers and Audi.
