They need not be, Audi has a knack of getting brands to flourish. (Bentley/Lamborghini)

Audi's sales grew strongly in the 2000s, with deliveries to customers increasing from 653,000 in 2000 to 1,003,000 in 2008. Although many sub-assemblies such as engines and transmissions are manufactured within other Volkswagen Group plants around the world, Audi has 7 manufacturing plants around the world.
