Not all markets are affected by the US response of the F30.
The car is a success in several markets and will continue to be successful now that the F31 has got off to a great start with a few thousand customers taking delivery of the car immiently.
The 3er Li in China has also got off to a great start.

If you are referring that the C-Klasse and A4 are on the level of the F30? then you are mistaken.
There is a considerable gap between the C-Klasse and even longer one between the Audi A4.
There is even an interview with somebody from Mercedes-Benz stating that they had to start again on several key areas of development because the 3er F30 had changed the rules for the segment.
The 3er is still the benchmark for the segment.
