You need to compare against cars in the same price class.

The vehicles in higher price classes are built on the same platforms as their mass-market counterparts. An Audi is just a VW and a Cadillac is a GM. Adding reinforcement to the luxury version of a car but not the mass-market version is a PR mess waiting to happen so nobody in their right mind will do it.

Size of the car, not brand. Sure an Audi A3 is disguised Golf, a VW Passat is disguised Audi A4. So the correcr comparison is Golf vs. A3 vs. similar sized car. You don't compare a VW Tuareg against a VW Polo for that very reason.
