Carbon82 Moderator April 15, 2016 Author Share April 15, 2016 The "cost" of setting up an operation in China. Audi has one big factory in Chang Chun. http://www.audi.com/corporate/en/company/production-sites/audi-production-worldwide/changchun.html Those clones are based on models (Q3, Q5 & A6) produced at that particular factory... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find nothing wrong with their first model, but the later one are shamelessly copied from other premium make. As we all know, a bulk of the car cost are attributed to R&D spending, and imagine someone just sold it and price theoir product substantially lower?? Worst still, they copy just the outlook and dump other (not so updated) engine and component into the car. Abide pirate DVD (Cover show one thing, content is another)...
