The B5A4 single-handedly saved the brand, imo; certainly in the US market.

Default Agreed but sale of Jaguar to Indian company has me worried

It seems like Jaguar is getting sold to a private Indian company so quality has me worred whereas Audi is solid German engineering company.

Default Excellent thanks for the history lesson on Audi

And good to see a former BMW guy switch to Audi for a new car.

I still like BMW but unfortunately the new bangle style is ugly IMHO compared to the graceful curves of the new Audi.

I do see a lot of Audis in southern California but at least not every other car is an Audi like it seems to be the case for BMW and Mercedes and Lexus!

I may end up with an A5 due to gas prices but will see.

I think unquestionably so. Audi went from being the German Saab to a really desirable brand.

Default True - I think Audi will start to make a serious dent in BMW and Mercedes.

I remember hearing the words of BMW and Mercedes thoughts on Audi and how they arrogantly mentioned than Audi makes nice cars but they don't compete with BMW/Merc. Well that was a few years ago now, and every year Audi is growing in sales and it's obvious that they are taking some market share. I see more and more Audis on the road everyday. They must be blowing out the B7 A4s right now because there are a ton of new one's roaming the streets with paper plates.
