Just because it's Audi doesn't mean it's German because the car could be assembled in, say, America. But just because the car is assembled in America it doesn't mean the components are sourced from America. E.g. the engine may come from Japan and the tires may come from China. But then again just beause the engine comes from Japan, the spark plugs to make that engine may come from Germany and the pistons from China, the camshaft from Korea, the valves from Australia, and on and on and on!
