paint is the big problem at the moment.. the factory near the nuclear plant is now running at least, but a lot of the colours have been delayed for up to 3 months. With increased warnings around the plant again, who knows if we'll ever see our cars this year!

mk2 jetta here back in the day.

YIKES! That thing is horrible!

The Chinese plant only makes cars for sale in China so I can imagine we wouldn't even recognize some models!

Really? I see them every day here in Atlanta. There are tons of Q7's here. Many refreshed with LED lighting as well as older models.

Same here. I have had my Q7 since October, and have seen just one on the road here in ABQ since then.

Totally dependent on where you are. They were pretty rare in the Bay Area when we bought 2.5 years ago; now they are all over the place. I was just at the dealer to get the coil TSB performed and there was at least a dozen on the lot.
