15 years ago everyone said the Korean's would never have quality cars and look at Hyundai today. They are kicking ass and have Toyota looking over their shoulders. The Chinese have a ton of money to invest and with the partnerships US manufacturers are going into with Chinese companies, they are learning very very fast. They are claming they will bring A4 performance as in a AWD Turbocharged 4 door sedan to the US market by 2009 for around $20k. That will be something to see if they make it happen.
