Audi sets US sales record

Audi of America, Inc. set a sales record in the U.S. during 2007, according to the company. Audi dealers sold 93,506 new vehicles during 2007, up 3.8% over 2006, which will aid Audi globally as the company has its sights set on a record year.

During 2007 Audi made significant gains in key markets, including New York (+14.9 %), Miami (+6.6 %), and Los Angeles (+12.9 %).

Audi’s growth, both in the United States and globally, has been fueled by a strong and growing portfolio. Audi introduced the all-new TT coupe and roadster vehicles during the spring, and then followed during the fall with the all-new Audi S5 sports coupe. And Audi was one of the most talked about brands throughout 2007 as the industry and customers awaited the September market introduction of the Audi R8, the all-new, high-performance sports car.

Audi dealers continued to report strong sales in 2007 of the Audi Q7 sport utility vehicle, the A4 cabriolet and RS 4 high-performance sedan.
