Record Sales for Autos in American

It is great to see the economy thriving. It has always been an indicator that if car sales were up, other industries were thriving. That still reads true.

Longshoremen last year handled about 6.14 million 20-foot container equivalents, a measurement used worldwide and known as TEU’s, compared to 6.18 million containers in 2011. A Port of Los Angeles news release says imports were up about 25,000 containers, while exports fell about 66,000 containers. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

Many auto manufacturers are reporting record numbers for the auto sales, whether they are domestic or foreign. Porsche, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan and the big three are showing increased sales. But, one of the most impressive is Audi.

October was the 82nd straight record sales month for Audi of America. The previous October record was set last year with 17,721 deliveries. Audi has now sold 180,339 vehicles in the U.S. this year. Year-to-date, Audi sales have increased 6.1 percent.

Deliveries of the Q7 were up 23 percent to 3,438. The Q5 deliveries rose to 5,416, and 15 percent year-to-date. Sales of the Q3 rose 4 percent to 2,021. SUV sales for Audi increased 28 percent to 10,875.

Deliveries of the A5 Cabriolet, Coupe, and Sportback increased to 2,143 over last October, boosted by the addition of the A5 Sportback. Sales of the A5 Cabriolet and Coupe nearly doubled to 1,101.

“Our results show that in a tight market, consumers respond to design, quality and technology,” said Cian O’Brien, chief operating office, Audi of America. “These results give us confidence for the remainder of the fourth quarter and heading into 2018.”
