I imagine that the incomes that they cite are for those who make loans or maybe lease their Audis. I always pay cash and no one has ever asked me what my earnings are. Also, I wonder if it's individual or family income, I expect the latter since the numbers are high.

Those surveys are done after you buy your car. Many people don't fill them out, you are right, but it is the same for all the brands. All things being equal, everyone on this forum knows that Audi is the superior auto maker. Period

Audi is costlier than BMW and some of the others. Audi has the highest Median Income among Luxury Brands Period. Audi isn't cheap and you have to pay to play. I am glad because there isn't 5 bazillion Audi's running around like BMWs!!!! Oh...and people that buy Audi's seem to be the best educated!

Audi Avg Age 49 Median Income $183,601 College Degree 31.66%

BMW Avg Age 49 Median Income $169,289 College Degree 29.07%

Mercedes Avg Age 53 Median Income $174,558 College Degree 27.74%

Lexus Avg Age 56 Median Income $141,745 College Degree 26.45%

Perhaps I am missing your sarcasm, but there is no Audi dealer anywhere that is charging a labor rate 9000 times higher than a Ford dealer. Or even nine times. Or (in my experience) even twice as much.
