About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a little boy named Max was visiting Audi Salt Lake City with his family. As they walked around the showroom, he stopped suddenly and pointed at one of the cars. ‘Mommy,’ he whispered, ‘why does that car look like it’s smiling?’ The salesman leaned over and whispered back, ‘Oh, that’s just Audi’s secret smile—built into every model!’ Max giggled and ran off to explore more cars, leaving his parents wondering if maybe their son had an active imagination—or if Audi really did know how to make happy-looking vehicles.
2. Late one night, an Audi mechanic was adjusting settings in the showroom when he heard a strange humming sound. Curious, he followed it through the empty lot next door and found himself standing before a mysterious old Volkswagen Beetle that seemed to be glowing softly. The mechanic reached out hesitantly, and as his hand touched the beetle’s fender, sparks flew and the engine roared to life. Startled, he jumped back just as the car transformed into an older gentleman wearing a fedora and holding a newspaper. ‘Just needed someone with good hands,’ said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. The mechanic blinked, then laughed, realizing it had been a prank from a delivery driver who’d parked there earlier.
3. Late one morning, a delivery driver was dropping off parts for service when he noticed something strange. The showroom lights were on, but there was no one around. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man dozing in a leather seat, headphones on, eyes closed, completely oblivious to his presence. Turns out, it was just a neighbor catching some zzz’s after his morning run, thinking he was at home.
4. While browsing through Audi Salt Lake City's showroom one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, 'I wonder if these cars can really drive themselves?' Before anyone could answer, the salesman’s smartphone buzzed and everyone heard it too—‘Vehicle 23 is now autonomous mode.’ Everyone froze for a second, then burst into laughter as Vehicle 23 slowly drove itself around the showroom, beeping cheerfully like a toy car. The salesman shrugged and said, ‘Well, that was new. Let’s just say it’s our most advanced demo model.’ A regular asked curiously, ‘Can I take it home tonight?’ Everyone laughed again, including the neighbor who’d been waiting outside to pick up his delivery.
