New world order. So long the US and Europe, your days are over. China is now the most important market for luxury cars.

And for you who have got kids, make your children adopt Mandarin as foreign language.

Vulgar to the extreme.

In what ways? Red interior is oppulent but a superb match for a white exterior and the dragons are brilliant cultural touches.

It just go to show how stark the differences is between the Western World and Emerging markets. Our products unanimously don't have much cultural trade marks but minimalism while elsewhere culture and history runs through most tangible products. VAG have made a strong note of this and have marked their intentions to tailor their product offerings to China. This is just the beginning. Their modular platforms will allow VAG to cost effectively produce cars that are specific to the requirements and taste of the Chinese population.

Paris Hilton has already celebrated the year of the pig. Just add pig embroidery and you're good to go.
