Oh my GOD,Oh my GOD
THANKS GOD,THANKS GOD

For proving me right.

Do you guys remember there was a blog put on by Autospies in November of 2005,stating
"Who r the BEST Predictors Here"

I predicted along with many other predictions that Audi's loss will be MB's gain.That Audi's sale will fall or MB's sale will rise tremendously in 2006 and MB's successive sales impact will mostly fall on AUDI.

Checkout the above Topic,saying
"AUDI'S SALES TOOK A DIP"

If u want to take a look at my predictions,go checkout the November-December 2005 Newsletters.I don't remember the exact date that's why unable to give u a direct link.

Now why don't you also talk about the MB sales in Europe which are in free-fall with Audi overtaking Mercedes, and BMW just a percent or two behind. MB is taking a beating in its core European market - January results according to Automotive News:
Mercedes down 9%
Audi up 11%
BMW up 13%
Lexus up 124% (from a tiny base).

Look for February European sales to show these trends continuing. Audi has overtaken Mercedes and BMW looks likely to do the same very soon.

MN_AUDI I proved right buddy.

WHy don't u compare overall results.

Feb 2006 :MB USA records highest sales ever.
Feb 2006 :Audi Sales took a dip.

Why u r going deep into the topic.I am not GOD (To predict word by word,and that to happen also).I just predicted the bottom line.Months ago.

THAT AUDI'S FALL WILL BE MB'S GROWTH.(IN 2006)

"AUDI'S sales will fall drastically beacause all the impact of new models of MB will fall more on Audi than anyone else." PROVED RIGHT.

Why don't u admire me for that.
