    December 2011 - Audi, N.A.

    Audi sets all-time U.S. sales record in 2011; brand expects momentum to continue into 2012

    • December 2011 sales set all-time record with 12,655 vehicles sold, a 20% gain across the model line up

    • 2011 marks the best year in Audi of America history, with 12 straight months of record-setting sales and 117,561 vehicles sold YTD

    • Record-shattering 2011 sales propelled by demand for C- and D-segment vehicles, representing 34% of the sales mix, and strong TDI® clean diesel sales

    Audi today announced record U.S. sales of 117,561 vehicles sold in 2011, eclipsing the prior record of 101,629 vehicles sold in 2010. Marking the best year Audi has ever enjoyed in the U.S. market, year-end sales increased 15.7% over 2010. December 2011 also set a new all-time monthly record, with 12,655 vehicles sold, a 20% increase over the same period last year.

    “Another record year of sales reinforces the Audi position in the U.S. market, as consumers increasingly choose Audi over other luxury competitors,” said Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen. “In 2012, Audi will continue to capture a significant share of the premium luxury market with exceptionally engineered vehicles.”

    December results were buoyed by strong performance in the C and D segments, with record December sales for the technologically advanced Audi A6, the design-forward Audi A7 and the flagship A8 sedan. A6 sales of 1,855 increased 124% over 2010, while sales of the A8 luxury sedan increased 35% to 678 vehicles sold. Sales of the all-new Audi A7 four-door coupe remained solid, with 887 vehicles sold in December.

    • You can see some Camaro in those headlights DNA. Would be a Nice Impala replacement or Malibu replacement as a 4-door sedan with haunches. 
    • I just  recently saw this ... me and my smooth riding I.C.E. sedans ... and coupes, too. What's baking in the oven here is mostly looking good.  Mostly. Captivating enough front end ... nicer than that of Camry. A little too heavy handed on the grille, at least for the base model. Attractive enough side windows in the greenhouse with nice lower sculpting and beltline/flank rounding at the rear passenger doors, and quality looking door handles. The exhaust area is handled nicely and the rear lights are sort of thin, jellybean-like, and anticlimactic.  Also, it does NOT want to be a '60s Plymouth Barracuda, a '70s Mustang Mach I from a James Bond movie, nor today's Buick Envista.  Big demerits for what could turn out to be a 2 volume vehicle. Clean it up some ... then "just do it."
    • WOW, If this is what BYD is delivering, then Tesla/Musk needs to be scared, such a superior EV to Tesla 3. BYD Seal Test Drive, Review: Elon Musk's Lucky It's Not on Sale in US (businessinsider.com) This just proves that Apple has the WRONG leadership and is going down. A CEO can be one of three things: Hatchet CEO that cuts up a company and sells off the parts for a golden parachute Stagnant CEO- Current Apple, can run the business to keep making money but has no ability to see the future and lead it to new levels. Visionary CEO - One who can make money and steer the company to new worlds of product / money making. Apple is failing and clearly people should be aware that some Chinese companies are pushing the future of tech in all things including EVs.

    • I have to say that I am very excited by this potential competitor to the Cadillac EscaladeIQ. Both Full size Luxury SUVs. Interiors Yes I know the Genesis is a concept and the suicide doors and flip chairs will not make it to production, but I do hope those chair designs do as they look very comfy and supportive. I have to say that I really like the exterior styling of the Genesis even more than the Escalade.
    • Yeah, it doesn't seem super space efficient.
