I came upon this Audi A8 review over at Business Week (via AutoSpies):
“…All in all, it’s not the money look of Mercedes or BMW’s fancywork. Instead, Audi is carving out a niche that exudes elegance, of the slightly understated, less self-conscious sort. In the flesh, it really is a remarkable looking car and affirms the brand’s general design direction, a turn away from the dowdy roundness reminiscent of Volkswagen.â€
As everyone turns to the BMW or Mercedes for the ego boost, there are those of us who don’t need the “status†cars. However, I do see the Audi A8 making it’s way up there! It’s a status car without the status hype. I’ve never been one to be much of a show-off anyways.
