Audi Releases 2010 Model Year Pricing

German brand Audi has just announced the pricing details for its new 2010 product lineup which comes with several upgrades over the current models. Beside all the new things which you’ll find below, Audi also revealed that it is the first car manufacturer in the U.S. to feature FSI direct injection technology in all of its gasoline engines, a move which is expected to help the company improve its US market share and attract more buyers.

Audi also introduced slight adjustments overall its price scheme, with some of the models offering significant consumer savings. For example, a 2010 Audi A5 quattro with manual transmission can now be purchased for a full $4,700, less than its predecessor, a manual transmission-equipped 2009 A5 3.2 quattro.

Just to refresh your memory, Audi is also offering an extra $1,000 bonus in the United States for consumers who agree to purchase a new Audi through the Car Allowance Rebate System.
