Audi Ownership Generations

[Larry C Leung]

Audi seems to be one of the later Euro cars that AFAIR started it's
popularity path with BMW, then Saab ('specially the '80's turbos), then
Audi, and now the Euro dahling of the current gen, VW. Of course Mercedes
Benz has ALWAYS been a euro-dahling amoungst old an new alike.
