(November 2, 2010) Audi today sustained its 2010 momentum with record-setting October U.S. sales, which surpassed the prior October record set in 2008 by 685 vehicles.

Leading into a promising fourth quarter, October 2010 sales of Audi cars and SUVs not only marked the seventh record month of 2010, but also comes on the heels of the company’s all-time third quarter record in Audi U.S. sales history of more than 25,000 vehicles sold.

For October, Audi sold 8,128 vehicles, a 10.5% increase over the 7,358 vehicles sold in October 2009. Year-to-date in October 2010 Audi new sales rose more than 15% versus its prior year-to-date total of 66,876 vehicles sold. Audi also recorded a record-breaking 30% increase in its total CPO sales, as compared to the previous October.

Overall, these results continue to keep the German luxury automaker on track to set a vehicle sales record in the U.S. by year end. The existing annual sales record for Audi in the U.S. is 93,506 vehicles sold in 2007.
