Here are some more information for Porsche Audi Mercedes:

For years, a convertible roof was a feature only offered with sports cars or muscle cars. Ford Mustangs, Chevy Camaros, and other similar vehicles would always come with a convertible option, giving their drivers a unique top down, wind in the hair experience. These convertibles offered a feeling of freedom that most drivers could only envy. However, for those drivers who preferred luxury automobiles, there were other restrictions to worry about. Most luxury vehicles were designed to offer a smooth, comfortable driving experience, not a fast, sporty one. With the exception of Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini, which always had a focus on combining speed with high end amenities, other luxury automotive companies couldn't provide a similar exhilarating driving experience. When the manufacturer saw a demand for a car that combined sportiness and classic luxury, a new option arose: the luxury convertible car.

This car changed the expectations that customers had for their high-end vehicles. Auto makers such as BMW and Audi were now able to offer a sportier car, with a convertible top, that didn't only focus on the driver. High-end sports cars are two seat speedsters, and are designed solely with the driver in mind. For example, a Porsche 911 turbo is clearly not meant to be a passenger car, while the BMW 3 series could provide the speed, convertible top, and 5-passenger comfort. This new breed of convertible, coupled with increased horse power, would give the owner a full sports car driving experience without the limited cabin space. Because these cars don't skimp on the amenities either, they are still viewed as complete luxury vehicles.

With the burgeoning success of these crossover vehicles, companies like BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Audi felt that they could earned the clout to offer a full on sports car to the market as well. Convertibles like the BMW Z4, Mercedes CLK200, and Audi TT would give these companies the chance to ride out the sports car wave that they started with their transitional luxury sports cars. Buyers now had options to choose from, regardless of what manufacturer they preferred, or the price tag they were looking for. Now there will always be the option of a high end luxury vehicle that boasts a convertible top and increased horsepower and a traditional convertible sports car that offers all the speed and agility of their Porsche counterparts.

Whether you prefer Audi convertible tops or BMW, there will always be a luxury car that offers what you need.

Audi Tired of Losing in the US Sales Race With Other Luxury Brands

Finally Audi is tired of always being beaten in the US sales race against Lexus and other luxury brands. According to some auto analysts things will change for Volkswagen’s subsidiary German luxury automaker if and only if its three-pronged plan to boost sales finally succeeds.

According to a top Audi executive, the automaker plans to increase the number if vehicles it offers, add more exclusive dealers and conduct a more aggressive form of marketing scheme that will boost brand image. They plan that aside from the usual type of advertisements they will also strive for a larger internet presence.

Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president of Audi of America Inc., in a speech at the Automotive News World Congress said that he is frustrated over the lack of the automaker to gain success in the United States. Last year Audi sold 90,611 vehicles in the United States while Lexus a much younger brand sold 322,434 units.

De Nysschen further stated that in order to get the attention of the American buyers it will start acting more like an American Brand. "Understatement is inherent in Audi's brand DNA," he said. "It is who we are. It is our expression of European luxury. Yet we think it's time for Audi of America to stop being so understated and a little more American in telling our brand story."

To help the German automaker implement the changes that it desires, Audi has hired a new ad agency as announced by de Nysschen. The agency, Venables, Bell & Partners is developing a campaign concept for the German automaker and scheduled to debut in April along with the new TT sports car.

According to de Nysschen, "We've challenged our new agency to build on the brand's history and DNA for product excellence. We want to make a compelling argument to America's discerning luxury buyers that they should consider Audi."

The German automaker’s growth plan is part of a much larger strategy. It should be noted that the automaker was able to sell 905,000 vehicles worldwide in 2006. The company’s long-term plan includes increasing its worldwide sales to 1.4 million units hopefully through 2015. It is looking into the great potentials of emerging markets like China and India to help in achieving its goals.

In terms of products, Volkswagen’s German subsidiary is in the midst of launching nineteen vehicles in the United States from 2005 to 2007. Audi also plan to launch their R8 sports car to compete with Porsche 911 a midsized A5 coupe and new TT. De Nysschen further added that they are looking at a small luxury SUV and plans to use diesel engines extensively in North America.

"We've addressed quality and reliability problems that dogged us in the '90s and taken major steps to become segment leaders in quality," he said. "Our mission and aspiration in the U.S. market is, quite simply, to be recognized as a Tier 1 premium brand in the same light as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, as we already are in Europe and elsewhere around the world."

Why do you think European Cars are the best cars in the world?

Others argue Japanese Cars are the best for their reliability while others think American Cars are the best for their um.. err.. (Help me out here?)

Personally, I think the best cars in the world are from Europe!

All Hail BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Jaguar, Porsche, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti and Volvo!

farmgirl's proud of her 219K miles on her GM, isn't she? Ha, my German car has 649K miles, and I'm still driving it 5-6 days a week. Americans just don't have their crap together. I've had a couple American cars, but no more. I'll drive my German car til it dies (if it ever does)....
