Outside of that, I love Audi cars.
A3-really nice hatchback, now with the 250hp V-6 with DSG
DSG-ALL CAR MANUAMTICS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS DOUBLE CLUTCH!
A4-nice inside and out, S4 and RS4 are wonderful but so is the basica A4
A6-my least fav Audi, interior too busy, outside to big but S6 and RS 6 changes things
A8-my favorite Audi, perfect to me
TT-such a trendsetter
Then their racing in LeMans is just ridiulous. They cannot be beat. And now racing with diesals, much kudos.
THOUGH I PREFER THE OLD NOSES TO THESE NEW SUV, GAPING FISH MOUTH ONES!

Most reviews I have read are not as bad but no one fell in love with it and the basic summary is "oh, another SUV, this one from Audi".

The interior was really nice but I agree, there were a couple of non-Lexus type items in there.
It is a sporting SUV - but it is not a Porsche
I have yet to see final pricing, but it seemed to be anything but expensive. The V8 starting at $50K and the 6 at $40K seems like a deal in that market place.
I think that because it is based on a car platform, and one of only a handful of 3-row Luxury SUVs that it will do very well. We shall see.

I don't get it because sales has nothing to do with being a luxury car maker. Are you saying that Bentley is not a luxury car maker because they have low sales? The new A8 is one sweet ride and tends to do very well in comparisons - its low sales do not mean it is not a top notch luxury car.
Also as the article points out, Audi is doing well money wise and seems to be selling quite a few cars. In addition, per the article when it competes with BMW and Mercedes in the 8 and 12 cyl car arena, it does pretty well. These are $80-$110K cars mind you.
So now, once again, why is the article funny?

Audi sells V12? What, 5 of them per year? :-).
yes, article is quite funny, since it tells an story of upbeat and blasting audi, which has 55% of revenues of big boys and is absolute disaster in the USA.
