In this ever-demanding governmental standards car market, ,making money on new car sales is tough. Making money on servicing cars ... that's billed out at ~$140/hr (on book times + marked up parts).

So, notice that Audi (among others) builds fantastical shops for the as-planned high thru-put. (cash cow supported by whatever marketing narrative that says that they are great engineering)
