Let's assume it is true that BMW has problems moving X5's
Ok, fine. Let's assume it is true that BMW has problems moving X5's etc. How about Audi USA, which is almost the same company. I see their special offers and it frustrates me that in Canada Audi customers do not get the same kind of treatment. Moreover, when my friend in Seattle (Audi owner as well) contacted his local dealer asking him if he will sell a Q7 to a person in Canada the dealer said (off the air) that Audi USA recommends not to sell Audi's to Canadians. How about that?

It is basically true, but there're better way of saying that ...
this is the first time in the last 5 years that I've been selling Audi's that we don't that many '06's left. One A6 3.2 and one 1.8t cab. not bad at all. Our next door neigbors (Volvo) have a ton of 06's left, that's where the incentives play a huge role. However, you have to wonder why they're not selling.

Canada never gets a lot of the things the US gets
And it's just not only applies to cars.
In one way, AOA used to treat Canada and the US as seperate markets, and it never worked for us. Now that Audi Canada is established and correct me if I'm wrong Alex, is now responsible for the marketing in Canada, we'll probably see some things change. A step in the right direction.

You're not wron Mike, we're already seeing changes. Price drop of premium pkg on the ...
A4 2.0 quattro from $2,200 to $800, sunroof from $1,400 to $800 in the FWD A4, s-line from $3,700 to $1,500 in the A4 3.2. We also have higher residuals than they do in the US, we acomplished this by making dealers buy the lease returns instead of returning them to Audi.
Sr. Ramos is making some changes and making Audi Canada have its own identity.
