Default Driving along in my automobile....

heading down highway 17 South, I look in my rear-view mirror a see a B7 A4 coming up behind me!

Then see were coming up on a B5 A4 1.8t, over on the right lane!

It was once a rare sight, in my neck of the woods, to even see another Audi, let alone 3 different models! ;o)

Default it's a rare sight here too...

If I'm ever driving in my A4 here and see 2 other Audis, that's all the Audis in town! (one B7, one Allroad, and me)

Default Yeah, same around here. ...

Downtown last Friday night, there was B6/7 at almost every intersection I stopped at, (other than me,) and at least 3 A4 Avants seen in a 10 minute period. It was weird. It is increasingly more evident that people are now "seeing the light", regarding Audis.

Default I did the same this morning...

Didn't have to time to buy a daily rag, so out of boredom, I was counting Audis during my commute to NYC. They clearly match, if not outnumber BWMs & MBs (those one are always with dirty wheels)

Northern NJ is mountainous, can be snowy in winter & be lashed by torrential rains in summer, so drivers have learned. Having 15 dealers within 50 miles helped in saturating the market too. I see a silver R8 daily & a blue one once or twice a week in same town. S5 is parked across the tracks in my town. Naturally, I live in shabby section of it.

Last year, I saw a silver haired granny in S4 convertible. She looked as if her dentures would fly out, had she kicked the gas pedal. Props to a sales rep that sold her that machine.
