If you want quality in automotive terms, buy Lexus, but then get prepared for some outrageous replacement parts costs, when out of warranty.

Rolex/Omega v Seiko/Citizen ( Manual wind v QUARTZ )
Its not always purely about quality and post warranty perception. Its Tech/Prestige association. The demographic interested in AUDIs would primarily buy based on the TECH/Prestige value proposition that cant be matched by the Japanese / Asian brands no matter how hard they try to copy. I'm sure most AUDI buyers would look at the LEXUS as an overrated TOYOTA..as many may look at the S3 as an overrated GOLF. An FPV GTF as an overrated R spec..
We've all been there with similar debates
The target markets mostly don't overlap so its likely a moot point. Same for the ROLEX v SEIKO - no Rolex owner is going to bemoan their purchase because their auto/manual wind watch is certified +5 seconds per day less accurate than a $150 SEIKO Quartz and costs $1500 per year to service.
Trying to completely understand "value" and how people "rate" things is a rabbit hole, hence these new MG buyers obviously don't have an issue with purchasing a British badged ICON made and owned by SAIC.
