Audi sells plenty of A4s in China. It is one of the best selling luxury cars there, in fact. How do they do it? It may give insight to BMW's approach.

Sure there's the "A" in front of the "4", but we don't honestly think a car called "A-Death" would sell any better here than a car called "Death", right? Unless maybe "A" in China happens to sound like "Honorable" or something.
