Audi has launched an aggressive public awareness campaign in the U.S. to highlight the ways in which TDI clean diesel can help America achieve energy independence. Ranging from television ads to a social media-driven charitable donation, the campaign will kick off a summer-long push to change public perception of the once-maligned diesel engine.

"Energy independence and fuel efficiency are at the forefront of public debate, and with the launch of the Q7 TDI clean diesel, Audi is introducing a viable solution into that national discussion," said Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America. "Several solutions for reducing America's dependence on foreign oil have been introduced, but few are as convenient, accessible, and fun as simply switching from regular gasoline to clean diesel."

Not only do the statistics on clean diesel show a dramatic change from the smoky, noisy, and dirty diesel image of the past, but these truths prove that diesel is a viable, ready-to-go solution for reducing America's dependence on foreign oil.

TDI Clean Diesel: The Truths

• A U.S. EPA analysis found that if one-third of Americans fueled their cars, pick-ups and SUVs with clean diesel instead of gasoline, the United States could send back 1.5 million barrels of foreign oil per day.
• One drop of diesel fuel has 12% more power than one drop of gasoline.
• TDI clean diesel engines reduce carbon emissions by 20% over gasoline engines.
• If one-third of Americans switched from gasoline to clean diesel, it would be the equivalent of planting 2.2 billion trees.

"Many Americans still don't understand the benefits clean diesel provides," said Scott Keogh, Chief Marketing Officer, Audi of America. "That's why Audi developed an intensive campaign to spread the truth about TDI technology. Central to our message is this point: With far lower carbon emissions and far better fuel efficiency than gasoline, it can truly be said that diesel is no longer a dirty word."

Launching today, the Audi multimedia campaign to educate America about the benefits of TDI clean diesel includes advertisements at fuel pumps around the country, a television advertisement, a "Truth in Diesel" viral video and a Facebook Cause campaign in support of reducing carbon emissions.

Stressing its commitment to reducing emissions, Audi is making a donation to help support the first project in The Nature Conservancy's voluntary carbon offset program. Through The Nature Conservancy's Facebook Cause, Audi hopes to spread the word about reducing carbon emissions. For every Facebook user who joins the cause, Audi will donate $1 to The Nature Conservancy's voluntary carbon offset program. To join the cause and for more information about this initiative visit causes.com/natureconservancy, which will be launching later today. .

Porsche Again Ranks Highest in J.D. Power and Associate's Most Recent Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study (APEAL)

Scores Highest Among All Brands; Cayenne Most Appealing Midsize Premium MAV

ATLANTA, July 16, 2009 --- For an unprecedented five straight years, J.D. Power and Associates has ranked Porsche the highest overall brand in its highly regarded Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study SM. The APEAL Study, now in its 14th year, is a very meaningful one as it measures owners delight with the design, content, layout and driving performance of their new vehicles.

"For Porsche this is a very important award that independently demonstrates just how passionate our owners are about their cars and the unique and exhilarating relationship they have with them," said Detlev von Platen. "Receiving this recognition five times in a row is something very special and clearly indicates the consistency of the Porsche brand's ability to meet the full spectrum of our customers' very demanding expectations."

Backing this up is the fact that the J.D. Power and Associates APEAL study examines the critical design and performance characteristics that make a new vehicle a delight to own and drive, and is based on the drivers' evaluations of more than 90 critical vehicle attributes. The maximum possible score that can be achieved is 1,000 points.

Outperforming itself from last year's highest ranking, Porsche received an overall nameplate score of 869, which is 15 points higher than what it achieved in 2008. Also notable is the fact that the Cayenne, Porsche's renowned SUV, scored highest in the competitive midsize premium multi activity vehicle segment with a score of 858. This is the second straight year the Cayenne has taken this honor in this segment.

The 2009 APEAL Study is based on responses gathered this year from more than 81,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2009 model-year cars and trucks who were surveyed after the first 90 days of ownership.

Headquartered in Westlake Village, Calif., J.D. Power and Associates is a global marketing information services firm operating in key business sectors including market research, forecasting, consulting, training and customer satisfaction.  The firm's quality and satisfaction measurements are based on responses from millions of consumers annually.
