After reading the complete article - Only white Audis are built in China... lol
As someone pointed out to me the other day, China is not the real problem here, greed is. Companies trying to get the most profit use the cheapest available labour and sell for the highes possible price. I would hope, that if in fact, the new B8 is built in China, Audi has not gone that route and has decided to keep quality on its radar... My Germany build B6 seemed to lack that part...

Auto market in China is going to change very drastically soon...
... like what is happening here.
Jalopnik has a good <a href="http://jalopnik.com/397650/car-industry-carnage-us-auto-sales-down-188-for-june">summary</a> of how each manufacturer is doing for June in the US... and most of the aren't doing all that well. BMW and Porsche is down, kinda surprised Porsche took that big of a hit. Honda and Mercedes came out pretty healthy (for now), VW managed a 0.3% increase.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheels.ca/newsFeatures/article/265168">http://www.wheels.ca/newsFeatures/article/265168</a</li></ul>
