Default from the FAQ....

From the FAQ:



Audi was originally formed in Germany in 1910, by August Horch. ("Audi" is the Latin version of his
name, which means "hearken" in German.)

In 1932, it merged with three other German car companies to form Auto Union. (The four linked
circles of the Audi logo symbolise this merger.) In 1963 the company was renamed Audi, and merged
with Volkswagen to form "Volkswagen Audi Geselschaft" (VAG).

VAG also owns SEAT, and Skoda.

Default Response. My girl friend asked the same question here and got me a great book....

Its titled Sutton's Photographic History of Transport - Audi by Paul Harris. Its great. It has all cars up to the TT and S4. Great pictures and brief description of all cars. General history and first cars are includded too. Highly recommended.
