Check your data.  The drop was severe, but not from the heights you mention,
nor so radically in a single year.  Here is some relevant Audi sales data:

1980 - 42,483
1981 - 50,817
1982 - 45,945
1983 - 47,936
1984 - 71,237
1985 - 74,061
1986 - 59,797
1987 - 41,322
1988 - 22,943
1989 - 21,283
1990 - 21,106
1991 - 12,283
1992 - 14,756
1993 - 12,528
1994 - 12,575
1995 - 18,124
1996 - 21,901 (as of end of October, extrapolate to about 26,000 for the full
year)
