There's another one coming. All cars ordered after Oct. 3rd are subject to it. It's about $400 across the board on base price.

I know that the Prestige Avant was $500 more than the initial pricing right out of the box.

By the way, it's not just Audi. My younger brother leased a 2009 MB ML350 SUV back in late August. He tells me that a couple of weeks ago, MB USA raised the MSRP on a comparable car to his car by $1350.

even with a strong product offering...and totally unjustifiable..dollar soaring, dealers in trouble, and customers in trouble. nice job audi...likely just means bigger discounts. the price increase was put in place in a totally different environment than audi faces now.

We're far from a strong position relative to the Euro.

The remain MY08 inventory for all the luxury manufacturers goes to purchase incentives only as of Nov. Then it's all 09s from there. Sales can slow all of the German manufacturers are poised to limit inventory accordingly. I'm seriously disturbed by people hoping for doom and gloom because they don't want to pay for something they want.
