Apart from this, September also enabled us to cross another milestone by surpassing our annual sales figure of 2011. We areconfident of crossing the 2012 sales target of 8,000 cars even before the year comes to an end. We have had a very exciting 9 months in 2012 and our robustcar sales amidst the taxing market scenario highlights the conviction our brand enthusiasts have put in Audi.Our Q-life range - Audi Q3, Audi Q5 and Audi Q7, continue to strengthen their leadership in the luxury SUV segment and are emerging as the top-sellers this festive season. Increasing input costs, inflation and weakening of the rupee forced us to increase prices for Audi Q3 and we are also evaluating price increases for other models in the later part of the year." said Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
