Believe it or not, folks, but spring has finally arrived. Granted, our friends on the East Coast are probably feeling it more than we are here at DCH Audi Oxnard, but a chance to celebrate is a chance we're going to take. Who are we kidding, as long as the Sun is out, you can bet we'll be out there test driving one of the many fine new and used cars at our dealership. And now that our favorite automaker is giving one of our favorite models a much-needed overhaul for spring, the 2013 Audi RS 5 just…

It only makes sense that a European automaker would choose a European venue to start pulling out all the stops. Not to say that we didn't go nuts when the Audi SQ5 was unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but even we here at DCH Audo Oxnard can't help but feel a tinge of European pride thanks to the fine lineup of new and used cars at our dealership. And with the Geneva Auto Show just around the corner, we now have three more additions to the lineup to look forward to.

If you're expecting or have just had a kid, you're likely assessing kid-friendly alternatives to your current vehicle. You want something safe. Of course, you want it to accommodate a child seat - maybe even two. And why not add fun to your wish list? Audi certainly never said you can't have your cake and eat it too.

In fact, they want you too. As such, they've come out with a chic…

Over the past year, Audi has been pulling in awards left and right for the 2012 lineup.  With great pride, we are happy to say that Audi just scored another 3!  That's 3 "Motorist Choice" awards specifically.  While presented by IntelliChoice and AutoPacific, they're determined by the toughest auto critics around: consumers. Over 75K consumers to be exact.  Value, cost & fuel economy were part of the 50 attributes that were assessed.

So, who…

Due to high battery costs and low projected demand, Audi has decided to put the R8 e-tron on hold. As far as when they might let their finger off the pause button? Maybe never.

Trust us, this came as just as much as a shock for DCH Audi Oxnard as it likely does to you. It seems like just yesterday the R8 e-tron ran a record-setting 8:09.099-minute lap around Nurburgring - renowned as being…

What does efficiency mean to you? ?Fuel economy?

You're not alone. That's why automakers such as Audi are creating beautiful contradictions in which cars deliver peak performance without having a weak spot for petrol.

That's not all efficiency is, however; at least not according to Audi. Its definition of efficiency extends to speed (i.e., shifting agility) as well as other types of energy consumption (i.e., the energy it takes for…

This year's Paris Motor Show proved to be quite telling of the direction Audi plans to take the tech, design and engineering of its Q range. The car responsible for this invaluable foresight: the Audi crosslane coupe concept.

While "unique" is admittedly a buzz word, widely overused in marketing. There truly is no better way to describe the all-new crosslane coupe concept. Marking an important evolutionary stage in the automaker's lightweight construction initiative…

A lot of the articles DCH Audi Oxnard brings you have to do with upshifts in Audi performance. This is natural given that every angle of performance - from horsepower and torque to handling - is at the core of the Audi brand and ultimately every new Audi model made.  Today, however, we're not here to talk about how much power the 2013 Audi A3 will offer compared to its predecessor. Or how quickly the new…

Two 2012 Audi models - the A8 and A6 - have met wild success in this year's APEAL study from J.D. Power and Associates. Specifically, the new Audi A8 received the highest ratings of any other large luxury auto assessed. The same can be said for the 2012 A6 within the midsize segment. What's more, J.D. Power and Associates have designated the 2012 Audi A8 as the highest-performing vehicle overall.

Looking at Audi…

Temperatures weren't the only things hitting record highs this July. For the 19^th month in a row, Audi achieved record monthly sales in the United States. Specifically, Audi sales rose 28 percent over July 2011 sales. Among the new Audi models most credited for this spike are the Audi A8, Audi A7, Audi A6 and Audi Q7. Together, these four luxury autos represent over 30 percent of consumer demand for the brand in…
