The people in China are smaller than the people in the US. If anything, overweight America would need that before China.

Default How is the build quality of those Chinese made A6's?

I was wondering what the build quality is of those Chinese made A6's? Do they use the same quality materials, etc (do they use Chinese parts suppliers?)? The stretch A6 seems like a nice option if it were available worldwide.

Most of these cars will be driven by chauffers. Many families will have multiple vehicles and some of them need not be the "best" and are used as everyday vehicles...which the chauffer still drives.

In highly congested areas, a stretched C6 is still one of the biggest cars on the road.

Default Not much difference

I'm not an expert on the C5, but the one I rode in seemed the same as US-spec cars.
