What it is: A stylish and
elegant redesign of Audi’s appealing luxury sedan.
What we like about it: The
aluminum-intensive Audi Space Frame gives the A8 a competitive
advantage over weightier cars from BMW and Mercedes. Standard quattro
all-wheel drive is also a plus, and for 2011 it adds a sport
differential that sends power to the outside wheel in hard cornering.
Bottom line: Audi keeps
pushing the style and luxury envelopes forward, and the new A8 is the
brand’s greatest expression of luxury.
