Audi Going Urban

Audi Urban Future Initiative Exhibit in New York City

Audi continues to think about the future and how their cars will fit in with the future - especially the urban landscape. 

Remember when people were clamoring to buy those huge, gas-guzzling SUVs?   I don't see this happening in the future.  As long as gas continues to rise, cities continue to grow, and car manufacturers continue to make SUVs with low miles per gallon, the demand for smaller SUVs will emerge...and Audi has seen the window of opportunity.

Review: 2011 Audi A3 TDI FWD S-Tronic

In my idea of a perfect world, everyone would be driving cars that get excellent fuel mileage. Until that time comes, thank goodness for the Audi A3 TDI.

Before I had the opportunity to test drive the A3, I kept wondering if the U.S. was ready and willing to pay for a compact luxury car. The model I tested has a base price of $30,250.00, which features four-wheel drive and a S-Tronic transmission. When I asked a friend if she was would pay that much for a compact car, she told me that if she was single without kids she could picture herself in an A3. However, for $30K, she’d much rather buy a van.
