Did You Expect Anything Less? Audi Sales Up 5.5% In August

Wow, A4 behaving like an SUV! How do they that?

quattro. also no real competition in the segment

Quattro? You mean garbage mechanical all wheel drive?

It could be worse. It could be Subaru's asinine "symmetrical" AWD. Now that's a piece of outdated technology.

Wait a minute, did Audi just surpassed Mercedes in August? MB dropped almost 38%, what gives?

So far:
Lexus: 28,622
Audi: 20,907
MB: 20,339

Mercedes still impacted by MY 2019 inventory availability that originated last month. Look for them to rebound in the next two months. But, still, good job to Audi for coming on strong and consistently in the 20K units per month now. BMW was at 23K for the month, btw.

Great news for Audi here. Most surprising for sedans is the big jump in A4 sales for the month. The A6, A7 and A8 are expectedly down big for the month given each is being replaced in the next few months. Fortunately for Audi its SUVs have helped pick up the slack. The Q5 and Q7 were both up at least 16% for the month and YTD.

The new Q3 should help give these already solid numbers a nice boost next year. The new A6, A7 and A8 will add further to the percentage gains. Audi has extremely strong momentum right now and this is before the new Q3, A6, A7, A8 and eTron arrive.

Watch out BMW and Mercedes-Benz!

their model lineup is better and better looking. clearly audi is trending upwards

Clearly the Q5 is the sweet spot for Audi.

True. Less expensive than the X3 and GLC. A friend looked at BMW and told the Audi dealer that. So they beat the lease price by $150 a month just by saying they looked at a BMW. I guess Audi Financial has a nice incentive for those cross shopping. My friend still got the X3 and they said it was far better of a vehicle.

Audis are VWs at Audi prices that sell for VW prices.
