Default A4 segment share -- can this be right?

I saw this posted on a BMW forum and I was genuinely surprised to see A4 sales so much lower than BMW 3 Series sales. Is this accurate?<ul><li><a href="http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/bmw/bmw_3_series_e90/8190250-1.html">A4 segment share data from Roadfly BMW forum</a></li></ul>

Default I believe it

In Toronto, tons of 3-series, and more newer ones I see, well at least where I roam around in Toronto (north part of TO). Very few A4s and if I do see one, they're typically the B5 or B6.

However, I go downtown, I'll see more B7s but 3-series still out numbers the A4.

Default Probably not too far off.

BMW sells a boatload more cars than Audi, so this doesn't sound too far off.

Default Yes...at least in North America

the 3-series is certainly a dime a dozen in Texas...I'd say for every 2-3 e90 bimmer's you'll catch an A4 (present and past platforms). I think Audi outsells in China and has a similar presence/sales as other German marquees in Europe

Default I'm surprised the 3 share isn't even higher.

Where I am, the ratio seems to be higher than BMW 5:2 Audi.

Default audi has high penetration in certain markets (large coastal cities, new england)

but is virtually nonexistent in other markets. so that may shape your perception.

Indeed, there are by far more A4's than 3-series in MN and the midwest.
