Great Vid. It was very interesting to see how it is built. The quality control that Audi perform on the building of the A3 or any Audi is very reassuring. Thanks again

I just love how they dip the frame into the vat to coat with primer. It's pretty damn cool the way an assembly line at Audi is compared to GM's assembly lines for the Silverado trucks in Flint, MI where I was contracting for a few months. GM's was a little messy for my taste.

Took a tour of the Ingolstadt factory when I was over there last summer for WC '06. One of the most bad *** places I have seen in my life. The robots are so damn smooth. The coolest part was how they charge (electrically)the paint and the body oppositely so the painting process is about 80% more efficient. If anyone is ever over there, I'd highly recommend it (only about an hour away from Munchen)
