Audi outsells Mercedes globally

Audi has managed to sell 15,600 more cars than Mercedes for the quarter of 2010, according to Automotive News Europe. Audi has been investing huge money into commercials in the US and the results are clearly noticeable. That’s the first time that Audi has managed to outsell Mercedes globally.

Although BMW has not reported their result for the first quarter of 2010, they would hardly even come close to that result. Audi sold 264,100 vehicles, while Mercedes has managed to sell 248,500 sales from January to March 2010.

Compared to the first quarter of 2009, Audi has increased it’s sales by almost 26%  and allows Audi to continue developing their future plans. As we wrote earlier this year, VW has invested 7.3Billion Euro in Audi.

Audi executives have previously stated that their target is 1.5 million annual new vehicle sales by the end of 2016.
