Audi USA president, Johan de Nysschen, gave us the unique opportunity to ask him some very pointed questions about the future of Audi in the USA. In particular our readers were very intrigued as to what cars we can be expecting and I am excited at the answers he gave.
The questions were from Audi’s Facebook and Twitter fans, QuattroWorld’s readers as well as Fourtitude’s readers. The funny thing was that when we compiled these questions most of our readers presented very similar questions. Our friend George Achorn who runs Fourtitude.com
had the honor of asking these questions to him on camera and Audi has edited and published this video to their YouTube page.

- Redesigned luxury sedan ‘Best Production Car Design’ recognition
- Audi has won four EyesOn Design awards in the past three years
- The new Audi A6 will reach U.S. showrooms by Fall 2011
For the fourth time in the past three years, an Audi model has won a prestigious EyesOn Design Award recognizing the best of automotive design displayed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
This year the panel of judges recognized the redesigned Audi A6 as the “Best Production Vehicle” design displayed at the Detroit show, which ranks among the world’s premier automotive exhibitions.
“This is strong feedback that we have done our homework,” Achim Badstuebner, head of exterior design for AUDI AG, said in accepting the EyesOn Design trophy.
Audi has received four EyesOn Design Awards over the past three years.In 2010, EyesOn Design judges gave the same award to the new Audi A8 luxury flagship sedan, which went on sale in the U.S. in late November 2010. The production car design award went to the Audi R8 V10 in 2009 and that year’s award for “Best Concept Vehicle” design went to the Audi Sportback Concept, which was shown in Detroit in 2009 and provided significant style cues to the sleek lines seen in the all-new Audi A7 due to arrive this Spring.

It has been a fast paced day here at the Audi booth at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The Audi press conference finished less than an hour ago and Audi released two brand new cars for the North American market. The first car unveiled was the all new Audi A6, which shares many of the technical advancements that have given the new Audi A8 so much praise. After the unveiling of the A6, Audi presenters opened a hidden door and drove out the Audi A6 Hybrid which was release last month in Europe. They also announced a few major items. The first major item announced is that they are planning on releasing hybrid versions of the Q5 and A8 as well. And perhaps the biggest item is that Audi is currently looking into building a manufacturing plant located in the USA. We will update this post with more detailed information, but for now enjoy the images!
