Wow, Walter I have no idea it's really a Audi. I list this as Audi because...  ![[Image: audi240.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10555/audi240.jpg) |

^Judging by that thumbnail, I'd say 100 C3. |

A bit of a red Nissan Silvia [S13] on the left, and a 1988 Honda Civic on the right. |

Yes, they were for a decade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Motor_Assembly |

Well found. "Our small but no doubt precious collection" has been rescued from a burst of Inappropriate Eradication. Interesting that it has only 3 real cars but 7 cartoons - suggests J artists thought these local-build Audis were important enough to deserve recognition?? In case the site goes again, the listed J-build models are: - Audi 80: Oct 1989 - Feb 1992 - Audi 90: Oct 1989 - Nov 1992 - Audi 100: Oct 1989 - Nov 1991 - Audi 100 Avant: Oct 1989 - Nov 1991 - Audi V8: Oct 1989 - Nov 1993 - Audi 200: Oct 1990 - Jul 1992 - Audi Coupé: Oct 1991 - Oct 1993 - Audi 100: Nov 1991 - Nov 1994 - Audi 100 Avant: Nov 1991 - Nov 1994 - Audi 80: Feb 1992 - Oct 1995 - Audi 80 Avant: Oct 1993 - Oct 1995 - Audi Cabriolet: Oct 1993 - Oct 1996 - Audi A6: Nov 1994 - Sep 1997 - Audi A6 Avant: Nov 1994 - Sep 1997 - Audi S6: Nov 1994 - Oct 1996 - Audi A8: May 1995 - Jan 1998 - Audi A4: Oct 1995 - Jan 1998 - Audi A4 Avant: Oct 1996 - Jan 1998 |

I can't understand why you give some credibility to the page, when was marked as "unsourced" for at least six years and then recognized as a hoax and deleted. |
|

I had not realised it was removed as a claimed hoax. Still looks very convincing with a specific narrative and detail, but I suppose good hoaxes have to be. The only niggle now I know it could be dodgy is that none of the pictures seem to be J-spec Audis. And might as well ask - is it definite that it's a hoax, and not a hoaxed hoax?? |

There is info showing up for a company called Audi Japan K.K but only on import/wholesale, no mention of an assembly facility. -- Last edit: 2019-02-09 15:39:49 |

Seems that that Wikipedia page has been the only source talking abouth Japanese Audi assembly... I couldn't find anything else except the nowadays Japan importer searching on Google |
|
◊ 2019-02-09 18:42 |
I've never read about japanese factories too actually, my sources never talked that way... Could it be a Wikipedia blunder only? I'd suggest removing the JP built from the ones listed here unless we find a reliable source. |

^ Fair enough to remove made in J if no other trace. But keep made for J in case some J build evidence ever emerges and we need to pull this batch out again. |
|
◊ 2019-02-09 19:08 |
I left the Made for J where the japanese specs are visible, the different 80/90 rear lights (which are the same for the US models) for instance. |

Wiki is actually filled with dodgy information about Build locations. I suppose for main information they are very hot on having citations and sources, but not so much for this kind of info for whatever reason. |
