In the midsize category, 29.7 percent of the readers who participated voted for the Audi A4, which left its direct competitors in the premium segment trailing in second and third place by more than 10 and 13 percentage points respectively.

Even more votes went to the A6, which prevailed in the full-size category for the fifth successive time. 30.9 percent of readers named it as their favorite, with a gap of more than 13 percentage points over second place.

The Audi R8, which reigned supreme in the supercar category, took 27.4 percent of the vote to record its third consecutive victory – once again by a clear margin of over 10 percentage points.
