Audi Starts Production in India Hi, i'll give you some information which I'm not 100% accurate on but a lot of internal parts in Mercedes including a lot of software is outsourced from India. I know a lot of rubber parts are made in a factory in north India and a few others. But Yes you are absolutely correct MADE IN GERMANY is significant to quality and we absolutely adore it in India. Infact that is the reason why Mercedes / BMW / Audi dont atchually manufacture here it's only the assembly line so it atchually is more like you will see a label which says ASSEMBLED IN INDIA rather then made in india :) And 100% agree with you on the comment about giving money back to your own country :) wish we had more people in my country who thought like you. I just gave the above post to let you know how much European quality means in India it's #1 on our lists :) I mean it and believe me we'll never try to 1up it all we'd do is tackle a way around in which the 70,000 USD price tag can be bought down to a realistic level by changing a few basics and it ends up making a huge difference. Once again no offence to anyone :)

Audi Starts Production in India Hi, For the above 3 posters without offence firstly, Im from india and now the clear picture. 1. They are investing only 30 Million in India till the year 2015 2. They have been selling cars as imports since 3 years and since that attracts about 127% Import duty they only plan to assemble these units not really make them here. It's more like the entire thing comes ready made and they just attach a few bits including seats / wheels / doors etc it isnt really made in India 4. They do sell other audi's / luxury cars and they sell quite a few we've had 10+ Rolls Royce Phantoms sold in India last year and while we are a country that is still in it's infant stages you will see how we are till 2015. And finally Audi is investing peanuts compared to Mercedes or BMW who already have a huge plant up and running and Mercedes is building a second plant and not too sure but I believe since last 4 years India is the only country outside Germany where the S class is made and believe me you might want to check the cars out you will be hard shocked at how good they are. All AUDI has done till now is opened a few dealers and closed a few and re opened a few and even this production is done at their existing SKODA plant it's not entirely a new plant that they have invested in Sorry for this long note just thought i'd enlighten :)
