Audi: We’ve Got A lot of What It Takes To Get Along
Brother can you spare a dime?
Not me. But ask Audi – 'cuz they're in the money!
Bully Audi! It seems that Teutonic car manufacturers are going from strength to strength as each year brings increased revenues and much merrymaking. Audi has recently announced that they can join in the fun as 2006 was a record setting year.
The numbers speak for themselves.
905,100 Audis were sold. That's up 9.2% from the previous year's 829,109 deliveries. In home market (and home to the most Audi customers of any country) Germany "the best ever sales were achieved" with Germans driving home 257,792 quad-ringed cars; up 7.6% from 2005.
In Audi's largest export market, the good 'ole US of A, Americans purchased with more restraint – taking home just 90,116 vehicles (still up by 8.5%). The People's republic of China, however, is set to eclipse the American market as largest foreign Audi market. This past year, including Hong Kong sales, the Chinese purchased 80,808 Audis; representing a sales figure that's a whopping 39% higher than 2005 sales.
