AUDI A8 (2002-CURRENT) |
|
 |
We Say... |
| Large Audis are often forgotten, and this one's no exception. However, take a second look and you'll see that the A8 exudes quality, much more than the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series. All versions are kitted and are good value, but W12 is a dangerous sign of conspicuous consumption. | |
Better than you think. |
|
A feeling of emotional detachment. |
