Free upgrade to Audi A6 with an A4?

By Tony Ng

Get a free upgrade to an Audi A6 when you buy an Audi A4. Or enjoy $500 worth of complimentary petrol vouchers. These are but two of the 10 anniversary promotions local Audi dealer, Premium Automobiles, is holding to celebrate a decade of being the exclusive Audi dealer in Singapore.

If you've ran out of places to visit with your entire family on the weekend, try bringing them down to Audi's showroom as well. There are free balloon sculptures for children, a mystery gift with each test drive and other activities. Plus there's a lucky draw for two pairs of Paddock Suite tickets for the Singapore GP with any purchase of an Audi.

After all that fun, exit the Leng Kee belt to Alexandra Road, where you can drool over the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe and saloon variants. Both were launched only this week. Mercedes-Benz is having an Open House for the public and more than 5,000 visitors are expected to pop by.

A few hundred metres more down the road, there is also Peugeot's spanking new 308CC, the only 1.6-litre four-seat coupe-cabriolet in Singapore. It was awarded the maximum five stars in the EuroNCAP test.

For those who're already looking to spend, there's the Kia Cerato Forte going from $45,999 with an ABS body kit and integrated GPS and reverse camera for an additional $2,000.

Although National Day's already over, the party's still ongoing. Mitsubishi is continuing its celebrations with $4,400 off any Mitsubishi car. But it's limited to the first 44 customers.

If you're the 45th customer, fret not. Suzuki is offering a $4,400 cash bonus as well. And it's throwing in free petrol vouchers, free servicing, free leather seats and 3M solar films.

For a perfect round-up of the weekend, you might want to check out the official version of the Nissan GT-R. The higher horsepower of 485bhp (no speed limiter as compared to the JDM version) will drown out those whispers of "finally".

It debuts alongside Singapore's first Nissan High Performance Centre at the Bukit Timah showroom, a dedicated Nissan GT-R showroom and aftersales area that has been specifically set up to service those monsters. The GT-R comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty and an English vehicle information system.
