The latest, a 60-second spot for the Super Bowl, does it artfully, if less obviously. Based on the 1947 children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise...

Understated, simple, even plain. Audi's design themes--outside of the S and RS lines, at any rate--are often a bit sleepy, but they're always tight, clean, and sleek. The 2012 Audi A6 is no different, winning recognition from the EyesOn Design award at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The 2012 Audi...

The Audi RS line of cars are a range of high performance models built completely in-house by the automaker’s quattro division. Designed to compete with BMW’s M Division and Mercedes-Benz AMG, Audi RS models have a reputation for being consistently more extreme than their Teutonic rivals...

Last October the Web was buzzing with talk of a quattro all-wheel-drive version of the Audi A1. With the 2011 Detroit Auto Show winding down today, talk of the quattro A1 has resurfaced, and with it, our hopes for a proper S1.

With new versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series launched over the past year or two, Audi’s entrant in the mid-size executive sedan segment, the A6, was starting to get a little long in the tooth compared with its rivals. However, that’s all set to change as the brand new...

Rupert Stadler, Audi chairman, gave a keynote speech at CES this morning. While he spoke very little of specifics, he did lay out a missions statement for the company to continue to be a leader and to break new ground in in-car electronics.

While it may seem like overkill, Audi is reportedly considering a new four-door coupe model positioned above its current A8 flagship sedan and packed with the company’s most advanced technology. Designed to take on premium rivals like the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and the...

Audi broke its annual vehicle sales record in the U.S. earlier this week when it recorded its 93,507th transaction of 2010. The sale eclipsed the old U.S. record of 93,506 vehicles sold in 2007 and Audi execs are now confident that the 100,000 mark can be reached before the year is out. However...

We're quite familiar with the 2011 Audi A7 by now, having seen the car in official guise back in the summer, and at most every show on the circuit since. The latest ad spot for the A7 casts the four-door coupe in a wholly different light, however. In what can only be described as a trippy 62...
