Audi Buzz: R8 Spyder

As someone who lives in California with its year-round warm weather and bright, sunny days, a convertible vehicle is ideal for just about any day of the week. But not just any convertible...the Audi R8 Spyder will work just fine!

Audi Q7 Eye Candy

The other day as we were walking through the mall parking lot, my dad spotted an Audi Q7.

And speaking of the Audi Q7, Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen recently gave a talk about the company’s clean diesel TDI engines which drastically reduce the need for petroleum products, light aluminum body designs, vibration dampeners to ensure the car effectively uses all energy it develops and smaller, and high-performance engines that require less fuel to perform.

Here's a video clip from Johan de Nysschen's talk...
