CNA938 Rewind - Tech Talk: Why a traditional showroom is passé for Audi

No more heading to Leng Kee to test drive the iconic "4-Rings" luxury vehicle. They've just recognised 1 year of a direct-to-consumer model here. No more agents. You buy straight from the brand.

But is that enough to compete with Singapore's rapidly changing and incredibly challenging car-ownership landscape?
