Why does the A7 in the picture have an A5 badge on it? Car names in other countries are so confusing.

The BBC title is misleading. The article is clear that it was British Audi _dealers_ that lied about the cars having done the Euro NCAP safety tests.
To those saying "it was the dealers, not Audi" I would say that becoming a dealer (in the UK at least) for a brand like Audi is not a simple matter of just applying to stick the Audi/VW badge up over the door. Audi have a responsibility to vet their official dealers. It's the expectation here. So it was the dealers directly, but since they are acting as Audi's representatives, I'd consider Audi to be culpable also.

The BBC has click baity headlines throughout. Notice the quote marks around "lied", which means that the BBC is reporting that someone told them that Audi lied. Which is, no doubt, a true statement regardless of whether Audi did or not.

You can't possibly vet someone that well. Audi may indeed have the responsibility to take action against this dealer and make things right, but the dealer's behavior shouldn't tarnish the image of the company.
Title is misleading, it was the dealers.
The Audi trademark is used on Audi dealers and therefore Audi as sensible organisation should check and influence how their cars are represented. To the average consumer there is little or no difference between "Audi" and, for example, "Blade Audi"
Volkswagen can't really push its influence onto the salespeople directly, it would need to go through the dealer.

Most dealership staff pretty much plead with you to say nice things to the car company when they call - or at least if there are any problems you tell them first.
