Replying to: kgary (Oct 19, 2007 2:44 am) Even though with record sales in the US, that still totals less than 100,000 cars in the entire US market for Audi. Audi is very competitve on the A4 leases. It's their bread and butter car and the deals are quite good. You can get a Quattro A4 with more options for the same or less money as a 3 series or C class Mercedes. |

to point out that much of the offshore price for various cars is made up of taxes that go directly to the government in question, particularly for upscale vehicles like the Audi. Displacement &/or horsepower (kW) can add 50-100% to the price of a vehicle, when compared to the 900cc version with 82 hp. Whether Audi (or any of the rest of them) make more money in the process is very much a question in my mind. They probably do, but not at the levels some recent posts imply.

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Oct 19, 2007 11:59 am)  Bottom line, though, is that indeed the discriminant German buyer is often caught between Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. If all else is nearly equal, why would one pay more for an Audi when similar can be found cheaper at a competitor's dealership? I can't fault those who have switched to BMW or Merc... kind of hard to justify staying with an Audi, especially if leasing. And as people have stated, Audi doesn't currently seem too concerned about the US market, thus it doesn't send good vibes to the loyal customers knowing that they don't really fit into the current big scheme... |

. . .perhaps you will see what I saw when I got my first look, up close and personal, at the S5, parked next to an S6. What I am talking about is the upcoming A4 (a 4 door A5 from what I can tell) -- which, when parked next to a many thousands of dollars more expensive A6, ought to eat into A6 sales, substantially (unless, as I predict the A6's are subvented and / or discounted heavily.) Use your imagination. . . The next gen A6, then, ought to be another quantum leap, just to keep things in perspective. Having the new gen A4 in a few months next to the current gen A6, can't possibly help sell A6's, but it ought to mean few deals on A4's -- they just won't have to offer them when the A4 will no longer be CLEARLY MUCH SMALLER than the A6.

Has anyone ever used BG 44K fule additive or BG MOA oil additive? If so, are they any good? I have heard good things but I am leary about using them on my 05 4.2.
