Just in time for warming weather and a heartfelt goodbye to another New York winter, a new Audi convertible is coming to our Langan Audi showroom in Latham. The Audi RS5 Cabriolet, with a top speed of 174 mph, is expected to arrive by the end of the month.

Our favorite automaker, Audi has been showing off the Audi e-tron family since 2009. These vehicles combine a sporty style with exceptional electric and hybrid powertrains. Recently, at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Audi showed off a brand new addition to the e-tron family: the Audi A3 e-tron. Then, at the 2013 New York Auto Show, the brand announced it would not only be putting the vehicle into production; it would also sell the plug-in hybrid in the United States.

How do you take the highly anticipated five-door Audi A3 Sportback e-tron and make it even more innovative? Audi answered this question at the Geneva Auto Show this month with the 2014 Audi A3 Sportback g-tron.

Tony Stark, the hero of the Ironman movie series, is the envy of our sales and service staff here at Langan Audi for more than his billionaire status. When Iron Man 3  is released in early May, fans will see Stark team up with the exciting new Audi R8 e-tron electric concept car.

When the crew here at Langan Audi evaluates the new Audi inventory each year, updated safety features are one thing we look at with great interest. Of course, design and performance are always fun developments, but drivers in the greater Albany area let us know that safety matters whether on the icy winter roads or during our too short, but greatly appreciated, summers.

When we're not helping drivers in the greater Albany area buy, lease or maintain new Audi vehicles, we like to try and dig up the latest news from our favorite automaker to share with you. Recently, we found a video of one model that always gets our pulses racing: the 2013 Audi R8.

If you read the last Langan Audi blog then you know that our favorite German auto producer is investing a lot of money into upgrades to the design and technology of its luxury cars. Popular models like the A3, A6 and Q7 all stand to benefit from the investment, but drivers in the Albany area might be surprised to hear just how far hi-tech has come in the auto industry.

Not too long ago we posted a piece here in the Langan Audi blog about plans for the German car maker to become the number one auto producer in the world. Of course, this involves rising above another rival in the luxury car world.

If you're like us here at Langan Audi, you like to stay on top of the latest and greatest technology, gear and especially automobiles. But with so many great products being released every day it can be quite the task. That's why we love the "Gear of the Year" list released by Men's Journal which takes the best of the best and consolidates it all into a neat package.

And this year?

If you're like most Audi fans in Latham NY, you choose to drive the brand because it offers a perfect combination of luxury and safety. Well, we here at Langan Audi are pleased to announce that the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association recently bestowed five stars on the 2013 Audi A4 and Audi S5.

No doubt the NHTSA recognized what we've known all along; that these two luxury models represent high level?
