Los Angeles – Audi continues to receive notoriety through out it’s model line. The A8 and allroad quattro are the most recent recipients of praise. LA Car recently awarded vehicles from several categories the title of “Best Cars to Drive in Rush Hour”. The article originated from the notion that, for the infamous journey through rush hour traffic in Los Angeles, some vehicles are better suited for such a daunting task than others.

The Audi A8 was named in the “Isolation Chamber” category. This category consists of premium luxury vehicles deemed as luxurious and relaxing. LA Car states ” Audi’s latest A8 may be the best all-around luxury car south of the six figure range. In rush hour traffic, it performs very well…… and its all-wheel drive and aluminum space frame design make it a great handling luxury sedan.”

The allroad 4.2 quattro was recognized in the SUV category. “Like all Audis, it’s a work of art, lavished with one of the nicest interiors you’ll ever find….. The 4.2L is fitted with Audi’s formidable V8 engine, which translates into instantaneous acceleration on command. Combine all this with the excellent visibility all around, and you’ve got one of the best cars for rush hour traffic.”
