you are wrong "Will". How can quality goes down if it was bad to begin with... VW != Quality. That's for sure.

If they build a VW with the same quality like they make dog food,catfood,toothpaste etc, then VW is in BIG TROUBLE!

actually, you cant really tell the quality difference from Chinese bmw and audis to the German ones. it is just some local Chinese automakers cant produce good quality cars.

In China labor is usually cheaper, so this will mean VW cars will be cheaper to buy, which is good for consumers.

I'm guessing this is the plan the Volkswagon Group may be taking to overtake Toyota, which usually sets up factories in where it is selling the cars and uses local labor there, e.g. the Toyota Tundra, Toyota Sienna, and Toyota Camry is made in America and sold in America.

In Australia, the Toyota Camry and Toyota Aurion is made in Australia in Melbourne and sold there as well.
