Finanční ředitel Frank Wittner řekl, že to bylo „velmi silné první čtvrtletí“ a „do určité míry lepší, ve skutečnosti lepší, než jsme očekávali“.

„Myslím, že klíčovými hnacími silami byly samozřejmě provozní výkony, i když objem poklesl, ale dokázali jsme to kompenzovat efekty ceny a mixu,“ řekl pan Wittner agentuře Associated Press.

Audi zaznamenalo pokles zisku na 1.1 miliardy eur z 1.3 miliardy eur kvůli modelovým změnám a vyšším výdajům na nové produkty a technologie. Provozní zisk Porsche klesl o 12 procent na 829 milionů eur.
