HERNDON, Va. – Audi today maintained its 2010 momentum with record August U.S. sales, which surpassed the prior August record set in 2003 by more than 900 vehicles. August 2010 sales of Audi cars and SUVs climbed 14% compared to August 2009, and marked the best monthly sales performance since May of this year.

The August results keep the German luxury automaker on track to set a vehicle sales record in the U.S. by year-end. The existing annual sales record for Audi in the U.S. is 93,506 vehicles sold in 2007.

Overall, Audi sold 9,182 luxury cars and SUVs in August 2010, topping the previous August record of 8,057 vehicles sold in August 2009. Additionally, the automaker posted steady quarter-to-quarter sales increases of more than 5% and nearly 15% over June 2010 and July 2010, respectively.

The August 2010 results were buoyed by the continued extraordinary consumer response by year-over-year sales increases for the Audi Q5 crossover and Audi Q7. For the month, Audi sold 2,675 Q5 vehicles, a 78.8% increase over the 1,496 vehicles sold in August 2009. The Q5 line also enjoyed more than a 25% August 2010 sales jump over July 2010. For August 2010, Audi reported Q7 sales of 560, a 42.1% increase above the 394 vehicles sold a year earlier.

Through the first two months of the second half of this year, Audi has enjoyed significant sales growth. That gain is largely bolstered by continued consumer demand for the Audi A3, which recorded both a 17.7% uptick in sales for August 2010 and 74.8% calendar year to date.

Australia – This go-anywhere HiLux will feature on the Toyota stand at this year’s Australian International Motor Show in October.

It has demonstrated the exceptional ruggedness of HiLux in some of the world’s harshest environments.

This vehicle was the first car to reach the Magnetic North Pole – an expedition undertaken for the BBC’s Top Gear by Jeremy Clarkson and James May.

And it was the perfect transport for scientists racing to set up monitoring equipment at Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano.

For the drive to the pole, the HiLux was specially adapted to cope with the extreme terrain and temperatures which dropped as low as minus 36oC.

Perils included polar bears – and hitting hidden blocks of ice which transmitted large shocks through the suspension and at times sent the HiLux airborne.

?? ?????strate GM15630_16s pathway to its vision of sustainable urban transportation.

According to Wale, 15630_07The Volt is a vehicle that makes no compromises. It reduces our dependency on petroleum and cuts emissions, offers a total driving range of about 500 kilometers, and is powered by electricity at all times. It provides users the latest technology, outstanding innovation and something no other electric vehicle can offer 15630_04 peace of mind.15630_10

The Volt is the only electric vehicle that can operate under a range of climates and driving conditions with little concern of being stranded by a depleted battery. For up to the first 60 kilometers, the Volt drives gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free using electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery. When the Volt15630_16s battery runs low, a gasoline-powered range-extending engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range another 450 kilometers on a full tank. This eliminates so-called 15630_07range anxiety.15630_??
