Audi Q5 Zeros In!

Look out BMW, the new Audi Q5 is set to launch in October and like a long range canon, it’s already zeroing in on the X3.   The Audi Q5 is Audi’s most serious attempt yet, to erode BMW’s luxury truck supremacy by attacking the automakers heartland.  The little brother of the Audi Q7, the Audi Q5 has the BMW X3 in its cross hairs.   

Executives from Audi are hoping that the Audi Q5 will not only match, but exceed X3 sales in the United States, the world’s largest automobile market.  Audi has not been shy about telling the world that they want to be the world’s number-one selling luxury brand.   

Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG believes that introduction of the Audi Q5 will take Audi a big step closer to reaching vehicle sales of 1.4 million per year, a target that they hope to reach by 2015 if not sooner. 

With the addition of the Audi Q5, Audi seems to have the vehicles in place and it is just a matter of time before BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar and Acura are Audi’s rear view mirror.
