Posted February 1, 20187 yr Audi of America marks January sales increase as Q7, A4 and new Q5 lead consumer demand
February 2, 20187 yr Wow, I believe I predicted "under 200" units for the A8, but it almost is under a hundred! Feb will be double digits. The US market for the A8 is dead.

February 2, 20187 yr See, that's what I say: exclusivity is a cornerstone of luxury. Once everyone has one (S-class), it's no longer special. If they could, MB would sell 20,000 S-classes a month and see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Edited February 2, 20187 yr by balthazar

Got a call from a coworker going to Vegas to NAB and was at the auto rental at the airport and they had an S-Class for rent. Guess it is not that exclusive of a uber luxury car.
