Ingo ◊ 2011-01-27 12:05	Yes, but AFAIK the early version (which was still looking like the original Typ44-Audi) were named Audi, the later, with several facelifts, were Hongqi. I think, Audi and the Hongqi-company (which is not the same as FAW) had a dispute about that, because Audi hadn't allowed to use the Typ44-base for the Hongqi. I had an original chinese Audi 100-brochure from 1986 -even directly sent by FAW back then, but later on I've swapped it with a literature-collector. This car I've spotted in 2001: http://img692.imageshack.us/i/img3692o.jpg/ http://img59.imageshack.us/i/img3693k.jpg/ Somewhere else I still have a photo from a LWB-Hongqi-Limo, based on the Audi, an older one, still with a halfly riginal front.
