Shine dims for once-golden Audi

Price-fixing fine the latest setback for market leader

Once the favorite brand of officials and businessmen alike, Audi is now reconciling itself to the harsh reality that its golden days of unquestioned dominance in the Chinese premium market could be over.

The latest blow was a fine of about 249 million yuan ($40.62 million) for price fixing in early September.

For FAW-Volkswagen's Audi division it was not a massive figure in relation to the big numbers of the auto industry - it was much smaller than previous estimates - but many believe the brand's reputation has been dealt a grievous blow.

Though the final impact is hard to assess, an immediate result is that many customers are delaying plans to buy Audi vehicles.

An Audi dealer told National Business Daily that many customers are adopting a wait-and-see attitude because they feel Audi will further cut prices on vehicles and spare parts and improve after-sales services.

But that adds to the woes of many dealers that are already overstretched to meet sales goals assigned by Audi in the first six months of the year.

Statistics show 269,000 Audi vehicles were sold in the Chinese market in the first six months as its share of the premium vehicle market fell to 33.6 percent from 35.7 percent in the same period last year.

Cracks in its armor began to appear last year when it was dropped from government and military procurement lists.

Audi was one of the first international auto brands to enter China. The publicity and connections saw the first batch of Audi 100 cars sold to the government immediately after they rolled off the assembly line in the early 1990s, according to reports.

It helped Audi establish its image as an official car - an image key to its success in the private market, said auto analyst Zhang Zhiyong.

The local leadership at Audi did its best to downplay the removal from the government's purchase list, telling media it has little impact on its popularity.

Cars sold to the government account for only less than 20 percent of its total sales in China, said the executives.

Yet that meant nearly 100,000 vehicles, a figure higher than some brands' full-year sales.

And that does not include the effect its prestige image had on private car buyers.
