Audi have once again experienced growth in America and continued their progress in the country. Audi’s January sales are up from last year by 19.7 % in total, which represents great progress from the German company.

In total 9,354 Audi cars were sold last year which beats the 2011 record of 7,812 in January. The 2011 January sales record itself set a record but Audi have managed to break it once again. In effect this is Audi’s best January ever in history.

He said that “Consumers are sending a strong signal that Audi is at the top of the luxury vehicle market. I’m optimistic that 2012 will be another pacesetting year.”
