2019 Audi A6

Dec 10, 2018

We’ve seen technology transform the automobile industry in just the last few years alone. Now it is transforming the sports sedan. The all-new 2019 Audi A6 uses faster, smarter processors that have changed the driving experience in a luxury sports sedan.

The 2019 Audi A6 has taken elements of its concept car roots in creating a tighter, crisper, more contemporary exterior appearance. Luxury interiors are designed with driver ergonomics and comfort in mind. Smart technology becomes more intuitive and useful in the Audi A6. It is energetically powered by a precision engineered V6 turbocharged engine that can propel driver and passengers from zero to 60 in 5.1 seconds.

It’s all new. It’s all Audi. See how intelligent driving has progressed with the 2019 Audi A6.

Concept Car Styling

Working from the exterior design of its Prologue Concept car, Audi chisels more acute angles in creating a new, sharper profile. Edges are more clearly defined. Like a body-builder toning his muscles, the 2019 Audi A6 is solid, firm and taut.

Available 21” alloy wheels provide a low, street-hugging muscular stance not previously seen from the automaker. Lighting becomes artistry in the Audi A6 exterior with LED taillights that animate to better demonstrate the driver’s intent. LED headlights with Dynamic DRL also serve as turn signal indicators, changing colors and moving in the direction of intended turns.

The A6 maintains Audi’s DNA but for 2019, the design has evolved.

A “Smart”, Luxurious Interior for the Senses

From programmable ambient interior lighting to its MMI touch response system to an available premium Bang & Olufsen 3D Audio System, every element of the 2019 Audio A6 is designed to please the senses. Choose the Contour Seating package with Valcona Leather. Activate the infotainment system with verbal, haptic or visual cues. It is a system designed to be as simple as a smartphone to use. Enjoy the safety and convenience of a heads-up windshield display, virtual cockpit and open a world of innovation with the Audi App. Smart driver assist features help decide when intervention may be necessary, alerting you first and then taking steps to initiated braking and steering input if necessary. Comfort, convenience and safer travels. The 2019 Audi A6 has it all.

Sports Sedan Credentials

The 2019 Audi A6 may be filled with technology and luxury appointments but that doesn’t mean it is surrendering its sports sedan credentials.

A Local Hero

Somewhere out there, someone in the Tampa Bay area is a hero. Somewhere out there, someone in the Tampa Bay area donated 10,000 turkeys to The Salvation Army’s annual Thanksgiving food drive. Anonymously.

Pass the Turkey, Please

Salvation-Army-Turkey-Distribution-Dimmitt-CaresFor the last 10 years, Dimmitt Automotive has helped the Salvation Army to give away turkeys to families in need for the holidays. This year, they had a hefty job.

A few days before Thanksgiving, associates from Dimmitt Automotive – along with more volunteers from the public directed by The Salvation Army – gathered in Clearwater. They helped to pass out some of the 10,000 turkeys donated to the cause by an anonymous donor.

Thanks to The Salvation Army’s efforts, to the volunteers on the ground, and to that anonymous hero, 10,000 families got a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.

We are so proud of our associates for showing up and supporting our greater community. We can’t wait to do it again next year!


Dancing Through the Decades

Dancing-Through-the-Decades-Dimmitt-CaresDancing is good for the soul. It’s also good for the community.

Dimmitt Automotive was thrilled to sponsor Dancing Through the Decades, the Abilities Guild’s Annual Gala. Each year, the Gala raises funds to benefit military veterans with disabilities.

Attendees to the Gala enjoyed cocktails, a silent auction, a delicious beef-tenderloin dinner, and, of course, dancing.

Dancing for Good

Every year, veterans struggle to find support and sustainable employment. Warrior Bridge serves disabled veterans as they seek employment, self-sufficiency, and an improved quality of life.

“One-hundred percent of every dollar raised tonight benefits the Warrior Bridge Veterans Mall,” Martino said proudly, “which recently served its 1,900th formerly homeless servicemember.”

For the second year in a row, the Abilities Guild sold out their event and broke their fundraising record. This year, they netted a whopping $35,000. That’s a lot of good for the greater community.

Dimmitt Cares

Dancing-Through-the-Decades-Dimmitt-CaresOnce again, Dimmitt Automotive was proud to be a part of something great for the community. We say that we care, and we deliver. A heartfelt “thank you” goes out to the Abilities Guild, the Warrior Bridge, and everyone who showed up to make the event a success. We can’t wait until next year!


2019 Audi A7

Dec 5, 2018

You’ll enjoy practicality while still enjoying one of the most luxurious interiors in its class.

It’s Time to Say Thank You

Dimmitt-Veterans-Day-Luncheon-2018It’s time to say thank you. Thank you to all of the service members who have served this country. Thank you for your daily sacrifices in the name of freedom.

Dimmitt Automotive Group proudly observed Veterans Day the same way that we do every year, with a complimentary luncheon to honor and celebrate veterans. We invited veterans and their families to come to the Cadillac Showroom in Clearwater and to the Aston Martin Showroom in St. Petersburg. And come they did.

At the Aston Martin Showroom, we served 100. In Clearwater, we hosted 180. All branches of service were represented. Service members were invited to stand and be recognized. Their numbers included employees, family members, and dear friends. Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, from Vietnam, and even from World War II.

A Day of Honor

Veterans Day is a day to honor those who have served this great country honorably, during war and peacetime. Unlike Memorial Day, when we honor those service members who died in the service to our country, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, living or deceased. It’s a way that we can show our troops, past and present, that we appreciate their service.

A Touching Tribute

Dimmitt Automotive CEO Scott Larguier presented the following touching invocation:

Dimmitt-Veterans-Day-Luncheon-2018Heavenly Father, we ask your Blessings on all who gather here today to celebrate the lives of the many courageous men and women who gave their youth, their dedication, and their energy to protect and defend this great nation. From the training fields to the battlefields, by air, land and sea, so many true patriots, armed with an immense enthusiasm for freedom, set out for the fronts of Normandy and the European theatre, the Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, our own borders and coastlines and other places throughout the world to keep peace and to guard the inalienable rights of liberty for all people.

On this Veterans Day, we remember their sacrifices and ask Your blessings on them and their families that they so selflessly left behind during their service. May we always hold in our hearts love and compassion for these defenders of our freedom.

We pray also for the leaders of our nation. May they seek to find solutions to the unenviable task of creating a peaceful world, while inviting young men and women to serve their countries in a safe and a politically supportive arena. Instill in the hearts and minds of our young people the knowledge that love of country is honorable and admirable. May they be given the wisdom to value the sacrifices made by their forefathers and the strength to emulate their mission of universal peace.

On all of us gathered here today, we ask Your favor, grace, and a grateful heart, Lord. May we enjoy the peace that You intended in a world filled with understanding, hope, and promise.

We ask this through Your son, Jesus, Amen.

At Dimmitt Automotive, we have a history of honoring service. Engaging in the community, acknowledging those who go above and beyond the call of duty, and doing good for others are core values here. We look forward to continuing that tradition in the years to come.

Dimmitt-Veterans-Day-Luncheon-2018And to all of the service members and their families, thank you.
