Audi of America Reports Late February Sales Rise in Advance of Spring Season

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 3 /PRNewswire/ — Audi of America, Inc.
announced today sales for the month of February totaling 6,152, a decrease
of 6.9% from last year’s figures. Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales
continued their record-setting trend; compared with last year’s February
figures, CPO sales came to 3,021 units, an increase of 57%.

The combination of cold weather and cold economic reports slowed
customer purchases in the early days of the month, but dealers reported
increased traffic as the month progressed. Growing TT sales — an increase
of 52.8% vehicles sold over last year’s figures — and record-breaking CPO
sales indicate that consumers looking for strong, “shockingly delightful”
design have Audi on their minds.

“In spite of February’s slow start, customers are, in fact, shopping. I
believe that American auto buyers are looking for stand-out design and
quality engineering — they’re ready for spring and are ready to purchase.
I look forward to taking the momentum of the last week into March,” said
Johan de Nysschen, Executive Vice President, Audi of America.

To date, Audi has sold 12,570 vehicles in 2008, a 3.4% decrease over
the previous year; CPO sales for 2008 total 5,613, an increase of 48% over
2007.
