According to Auto News, the total sales for June of 2008 for VAG in the USA were 31626 units. With VW @ 23208 units leaving about 8418 units. One can surmise that the bulk of that is Audi. So, it will look like that Audi gained slightly (1%) over June 2007 sales of 7789. Of course, one must take into consideration Bentley sales, but one can assume they are a very small % of the total leaving the bulk as Audi sales. Looks like Audi is holding steady if not increasing slightly. Will have to wait for official numbers.
