I think the government here in China should use domestically produced cars and not the passats, and A6's to show that they, as a government, have confidence in the Chinese automobile industry. The city government here in Qingdao, and most of the eastern coast city government seem to like to buy European mid range - luxury level sedans - completly crazy to pay over the odds when you've got cars that are practically on the same level but a third of the cost being produced locally!
The army however, does have a HUGE fleet of Chang Feng jeeps, as well as Mitsubishi's and various other cars, including luxury vehicles (i saw a navy guy driving a V8 Volkswagen SUV with navy plates the other week!), but Im told that the luxury cars were confiscated from people or businesses for not paying taxes etc, they get their cars turned over for army use! (or so im told
)
