Editor’s note: This article originally ran in the q2_2019 issue of quattro magazine.
Is it a “crossover” or an “SUV”? I was in the weeds in more ways than one with an Audi of America product planner in remote and frigid Colorado philosophizing over just what the new Audi Q8 is. I’d called it a “crossover”. He argued “SUV”.

So there's some bad news and good news about April 2019 sales. The bad news is that sales year-to-date is down 21%. Ouch. The good news is that new products are hitting the dealers as we speak including the e-tron SUV and soon the new (great looking in my opinion) Q3. Also, sedan (A6, A7, A8) are selling well, CPO sales are up, 253 e-trons have already been sold, and Service Manager satisfaction is #1 10 years in a row. The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
