It makes one hope to think so. But I don't think moving the production of E and C class models to China is a great way to stimulate sales.

I know its a different topic, but not completely irrelevant.

Electronics die out. Japanese or German, they will all experience problems evantually with age.

The car has one idea I've always like and that's the VNT turbocharger (Variable Nozzle Turbine) that just about eliminates turbo lag. Only problem people have with them in the VW's is the average person that buys a VW doesn't work the turbo enough and will after a time find the control rod rusted and not able to open fully. We excerise the Jetta frequently and have never had a problem with the turbo.
