Their models are just plain ugly nowadays(except new A class), and have so much chrome in them it's like having a rapper style your car with "loads of bling yo'!", bimmers and audis are opposite in my opinion, much understated giving the impresion of "old money". Last year I went to Automechanika Shanghai, as you would expect, I spent a few days getting over the jet lag before the show began, and the first thing you notice is : 1, communism is a joke and 2 the amount of longwheelbase A6s is staggering, VAG rules the market over there, at least in Shanghai.

I'm not surprised. Even though I think the AMG models really are something special, but the ordinary ones not so..
