Audi India, the Indian subsidiary of German carmaker Audi has said its half yearly sales between January and June has increased by a whopping 100 per cent. While all volume carmakers in India are reporting reduced or negative sales, luxury car brands continue to post positive sales.

There has been a tremendous growth in Audi's sales during the first half of this year. The German premium carmaker sold 2,802 vehicles during this period as against the 1,400 cars it sold during the first half of 2010 registering a 100 per cent increase in sales.

Audi India chief Michael Perschke has expressed his happiness over Audi's sales performance. Audi's June sales also rose 75 per cent against the previous June's sales. It sold 408 units of its premium cars.

Audi's sales have been boosted by the arrival of class leading models such as the R8 V10, R8 Spider, A8 L, A7 Sportback and the RS5 coupe. An aggressive sales and marketing strategy has also helped Audi's sales. Audi remains the market leader in luxury SUVs with its Q7 and Q5. Audi is aiming to expand its dealer network in India.

Micro Cars the best for Indian economy, Indian road conditions, Indian life style esp those in crowded cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Calcatta, Chenna. Banglore, etc. The manufacturers are forcing the Indians to purchase their higher size cars as they could make huge money.(Micro Cars will not have enough margins).
