[QUOTE=Blake P;13274040] IMO, AoA is completely interested in mass market sales growth and has forgotten about the enthusiasts who helped make the brand what it is becoming in the US today. QUOTE]
Agree & Disagree at the same time.
Agree: They are interested in mass markets, but not in the U.S. Do you know how much it cost an Audi in other countries vs the U.S? Other places are paying 3-4x more for the exact same car. So they're shifting focus to China etc. So you are right in that direction.
Disagree: Audi has not forgotten about the enthusiast, but they are skeptical. They prefer feedback first. For example, when facebook users asked for the TTRS to be brought into the U.S, they did just that. Manual only to the U.S too I believe. 0-60 in 3.6 with an MSRP of $58K is a sick bargain imho. Audi also listened and finally brought the RS5 to the U.S as well.
