Volkswagen To Sell China-Made Cars In Europe Through Cupra

[adrianator]

"Volkswagen announced that it would be importing vehicles made in China into Europe."

"For Volkswagen, the model to be exported from China would be the upcoming production version of the Cupra Tavascan."

Prepare for low quality

@Syphon, maybe this is worth of a news article

 

[Seriously?]

Prepare for low quality

Some would argue that VW group quality as it stands at present isn't all that great

You're right...but it can be worse

I worked in a Honda dealership when China made Jazz were brought in, PDI’s no longer were an easy task, quality was terrible.

Does China not make the MG now, as they get pretty good reviews in the car mags.

 

[martin j.]

I’ve never trusted magazine reviews for any product, big spenders on advertising tend to get good reviews, ‘pretty good reviews’ wouldn’t encourage me, tremendous reviews, now that’s tag, but, take ten people you’ll get ten different opinions, usually.

Why would a car made by machines in China be any worse than those made by machines in Egypt (as some SEAT models are)? And I’d expect rising numbers of EV’S to come direct from China as is happening with MINI.

 

[martin j.]

How is the quality of those made in Egypt? No intention of buying ev so no effect on me.

I had 5 x Jazz's made in Japan and 1 made in Swindon. I thought the Swindon made vehicle was worse (only my opinion ).

So were these Jazz's made in China or Japan

I think we’re very fortunate that most cars are built to exceptional standards these days, wherever they’re from! My early days in the motor industry (1980s) were spent explaining to Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat and Austin Rover customers why their cars were so badly put together! Terrible paintwork, water leaks everywhere, windows that dropped of mechanisms etc The list was endless I was fortunate enough in 1987 to get a job selling VW/Audi. The difference was amazing even then. The Audis were not great sellers at that time, but the Golf’s and Polos sold very well. They still required new sills after a while though

I'm sure according to the VIN it was Japanese built...but it was quite a few years ago.
