Audi defied the economic downturn last month, when its global sales went up compared with this time last year.
The German luxury brand posted a 0.4 per cent rise in new car deliveries.
Sales increased to 75,950 new cars in November, compared with 75,635 sales a year earlier.
“Audi continues to hold its market ground very well because of its young and attractive models,” said head of sales Peter Schwarzenbauer.
Audi’s year-to-date sales are up 3 per cent at 920,700 vehicles.

Re: Audi defies market downturn
What you are all failing to take into account is that these are global sales figures and Audi are becoming pretty big in China which will one day be the world's biggest market for cars. The chances are that it is China, and probably Russia as well, that have given Audi this result.

Re: Audi defies market downturn
But for how long can they be sure that someone will have that kind of money to buy a secondhand Audi in 3 years time. The financiers are betting on second hand Audi customers still paying a significant premium compared with a VW or a Skoda.
