I'm starting to see b8's more and more, anyone else notice this?
They are becoming more common than I'd like, maybe it was a fluke day but I saw 6 B8's, and one RS4 which I can never complain about ;)

B8's everywhere here too, without counting mine there are at least 7 other ones in my building complex, plus a bunch of A6's A5's and Q7's and one TT
on a side note audi has over 50% of the chinese market

While I have been seeing more B8s, I am definitely not seeing alot of B8s...
I'll see ~30 BMWs (3-series) in a day while I only see e 1-2 B8s...

B8's are all over here, but 90% of them are the premium models. I think I have seen maybe 2 or 3 S lines and 1 sport package in 2 years

I hate RS4s. They have the exhaust tips I want [>_<]

This so far has been my experience as well. Mostly A5s tho. Sometimes it'll be an entire week before I see a B8 A4.

I think it was a fluke day, but the 5 is much more common than the 4 right now
I see half and half of premium models and premium+ etc.
I haven't ever seen an RS4 before that in a normal public area, it was quite a treat. Plus it was negaro blue :)

It's the opposite in Austin. I've only seen one B8 A5, but I see a couple of B8 A4's a week.
And it's upwards of ~45 3-series a day lol.

Same thing here. BMW/mercedes dominates my area.

NPuter, I totally agree, for every ~100 BMW's, I see one B8... I love it...[;)] Maybe its a South Florida thing?? [confused]

I guess... BMW is a big thing down here... (literally a 3-series everywhere you look).
I also rarely see any B8 with LED headlights, so it is a rare treat whenever I do...

I'm in Palm Beach/Ft. Lauderdale/Miami this week, and I was surprised at how many Premium B8's I've seen...I feel like the odd man out when I'm home in NY, but I saw literally 6 Premium models while in City Place this evening. I agree about BMW being wayyy more popular down here as well, as Audi is pretty popular where I live.

We have one of the biggest Audi dealers in south FL too. Weird that more northern people see more B8's (as pertaining to this thread).
I'm in MD and don't see many B8 A4's or A5's at all. I thought since I bought an A5, I would see soooo many more but its not the case. I have had my car for 3 months now and maybe..maybe saw 5 A5's and 10 A4's.

Well I am in VA and I have seen maybe 4-5 A5's and 9-10 A4's. One of those A4's was an S-line and mine is the only S-line Avant i have seen since I bought mine in May

My neighbor has a B8 Prestige A5, but otherwise I rarely see B8's and I drive around 4 cities a week Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Claremont Mesa.

I see about two a day in Atlanta burbs, but compare that to about 30 bmws and 15 mercedes and I'm still pretty happy in the Audi camp. Surprisingly a lot of those B8s are S4 and S5s.

Ton of premium/premium+ b8s in Dallas but BMW is still way more prevalent. 328s are like corollas here.
