If the experts at the University of Duisburg's Center of Automotive Research (CAR) are right, the German luxury car market will see a considerable shake-up next year, with Audi selling more cars worldwide than Mercedes for the first time ever.
In a study published on Monday, the center's director, Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, predicted that Munich-based BMW will continue to lead the pack in 2010, with VW-subsidiary Audi in second place, and Stuttgart-based Mercedes-Benz in third.
Back in 2002 Mercedes' global sales were more than 30 percent higher than Audi's. This year the gap appears to have been whittled down to just 3 percent: Mercedes is expected to sell 965,000 cars in 2009 compared to Audi's 935,000.
