Rear headrests still too tall. That center console hides her boots :-)

Default No I do not

I wanted to open the hood to see but there were so many people around and it just wasn't going to happen.

They did remark that this grille marks the beginning of all new designs. They've been saying that for a while, but we are going to see it more and more. Audi calls it the "single frame".

Default So you saw the car in person....what did you think?

Is it awesome or a little over the top? Will it be available in the U.S.?

Thanks.

Default It is not over the top

It is an A8 L - just a different engine. Audi officials I spoke to said it drives amazing - tons and tons of power. Status too, no doubt.

It will sell in the US, first sales at the end of the calendar year.
