HERNDON, Virginia, May 2, 2017 – Audi of America’s April sales increased 5 percent to 18,711 vehicles, a record. Demand was strong across the product lineup, with the Q5, Q7 SUVs and the A4 sedan leading the volume gains.

It was the best April sales result for Audi in the U.S., marking the brand’s 76th straight monthly record. The previous April record was set last year with 17,801 vehicles sold. Through the first four months of 2017, Audi sales have risen 8 percent to 64,358 vehicles.

The newly launched Q5 led the gains with 5,028 vehicles sold, an increase of 26 percent.

Consumer demand for A4 and A5 models was also strong. The A4 sedan posted sales of 3,246 vehicles, a 9 percent increase for the month and a 20 percent gain year-to-date. A4 allroad sales jumped 61 percent to 236 vehicles. The A5 recorded 1,007 deliveries in April, an increase of 24 percent from last year.

Take A4 and A5 out of the sales and they would be down, car sales as we have seen are crazy dropping.

We are running out of cheap credit, and we ahve not (either party) elected adults to leadership roles in Washington, things could get interesting.

Agreed, it will be interesting. So much more I could say here but trying my best to avoid going political. News alone makes me shake my head on what the near term future will be for this country.
