AUDI (German automobile maker) as expected has made an aggressive foray in Indian market in the last twelve months. Going by the advertisements that they are churning out in the print media it looks like, very soon Indians will be treated with plenty of serious eye candy on four wheels. Their punch line really caught my eye 'Vorsprung Durch Technik' : In German it means 'Progress Through Technology' or 'Leadership Through Technology Innovation". AUDI please give us excess of it!
