April 2007 marked the sixth consecutive month when Audi dealers posted a monthly all-time record.

The all-new 2008 TT Coupe and Roadster models started arriving at dealerships at the end of April, and fill a gap Audi had not occupied during the 2007 model year. The A4 Cabriolet model line had the largest increase for the month at 22.7%.

And new offerings arrive later this year, including the R8 mid-engine sports car and the S5 Coupe."

Significant gains were recorded by dealers in Texas (+67.0%), Michigan (+28.0%), and New Jersey (+25.7). Key metro regions also saw big gains, including Atlanta (+41.1%) and New York (+27.1%).

Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales are also up 6.8% for the year with 8,254 vehicles delivered.
