Audi has opened a dealership in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), marking the company official entry into the Vietnamese market. Audi move reinforces its position in the region, where the brand is currently scoring its highest growth rates.

13 consecutive years of breaking sales records wasn't enough. One of the market's best growing brands, Audi wanted to sell one million cars in 2008. And they've done it!

Despite the economic downturn, Audi has reported increased sales figures once again and it looks on target to sell one million cars this year.

No, it's not BMW, Mercedes-Benz or even Volkswagen. It's Audi who's leaping ahead of its competition in these tough times.
