<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Volkswagen</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> will have
little to display from its luxury brand <strong><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Audi</span></strong> at the upcoming <b>Geneva Auto Show</b>, other
than a sports car. Audi accounts for almost half of the operating profit at
Volkswagen. It will unveil a new version of the TT sports car at the auto show.
This model accounted for less than 2 percent of the brand’s 1.58 million sales
in 2013. Its biggest rival, <b>BMW</b> will showcase the latest model from its
cutting-edge i series of electric cars. Daimler’s <b>Mercedes-Benz</b> will
present a new version of its best-selling C-Class.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">In comparison
with its rivals, Audi has not revealed any new models. Tow VW sources revealed
that overhauls to Audi’s top-selling A4 sedan and the Q7 SUV, slated for 2014,
will be pushed into next year as the cars need to be reworked. Europe’s car
market is back in growth as the region’s long-suffering economy recovers from a
debt crisis. The luxury car industry avoided the worst of the downturn, thanks
in part to strong demand from developing countries, and will be a key battleground
as the European market recovers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Research firm
IHS Automotive forecasts Audi will briefly snatch the luxury sales crown in
2017/18, as it aims to double its line-up of popular premium crossovers that
includes the Q5 compact SUV. But it expects both Audi and Mercedes to miss
their goals to overtake BMW by 2020, with Mercedes staying in third place
throughout the period. BMW, aiming to stay in the top sales spot for a tenth
straight year, will flaunt the i8 plug-in hybrid sports car in Geneva. Other unveilings
will include the new four-door Mini Clubman concept car and the new 2 series
Active Tourer minivan. Mercedes will present the new V-class minivan and a
coupe version of its all-new flagship S class sedan, the brand’s top-end
product</span>.<br />
