Audi's August 2016 Global Sales Rise 2.9% With YTD Sales Up 4.9% - Driven By Chinese Demand

AUDI AG delivered around 132,350 cars to customers in August. As such, global sales exceeded the prior-year month by 2.9 percent. Most recently, the demand for automobiles with the Four Rings developed positively especially in China (+8.8%), the United Kingdom (+13.2%) and Spain (+23.3%). By contrast, weaker conditions of some markets in South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East were also reflected in Audi’s sales balance. Cumulative global sales increased by 4.9 percent since January to around 1,234,900 cars and are up in all the brand’s core regions: in Europe (+7.4%), Asia-Pacific (+3.8%) and North America (+5.2%).

“In August, Audi achieved its 80th month of growth in a row. This impressive sequence shows that our business is geared towards solid long-term success,” says Dietmar Voggenreiter, Board Member for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG. “In a generally difficult market environment, a healthy, sustainable development is therefore the top priority for us.”

I wish they'd bring the new A5/S5 Sportback to the US. I did not like the "redesign" of the 2-door, but the 5-door really looks good, IMO. Though at some angles its very Fusion/200, but it's a good looking car.

Yikes, better get your eyes checked! Not sure how you missed the four rings prominently displayed on the grille.

The Genesis looks too lovely to be a dowdy Audi.
