I bet that's something to do with the Chinese market that Audi recently entered. Smart move by Audi!

I'm not sure if Mercedes and/or BMW have caught onto the middle class Chinese market?

Doesn't change the fact that Audi 100s and 200s were produced in China in the late 80s and 90s. Then they moved on to the A6 and now the A4.
