Parallel imported or recon (reconditioned) cars have been a part of (read: plagued) the Malaysian automotive industry for as long as the industry existed. Many have turned to these unauthorised and unofficial distributors for their significantly lower car prices – it’s not unusual to see grey import cars being 30 to 40% cheaper than officially imported cars. A small number of consumers turn to the grey market to secure a particular model variant, for example, an Audi RS6 Avant that’s not sold by

Audi did not start off as the luxury car brand that we know of today. Back in the 60s, before the Audi started competing with luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi was rolling out affordable cars like the small hatchback Audi 50.

The long-wheelbase version of the Audi A7 (called the A7L) has been spied in China, undisguised. More than just a wheelbase extension, the A7L actually differs slightly from the regular A7 in that it is a sedan with a trunk, instead of a fastback. The A7L is still derived from Audi's MLB platform, and will be manufactured by SAIC-VW in China. Power wise, expect the A7L to use existing engine options from the regular A7, which are the 2.0 and 3.0 TFSI. Topping the range will be a 55TFSI flagship.
