Default No need for an SUV when you have an A8 or S8

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/36855/p6260003.jpg"></center><p>This is a picture from last summer of my wife's A8. It is so much more comfortable to drive than an SUV and we still get to go biking and kayaking on our days off.

She is determined to keep the car till it gets to 400,000 miles and with nearly 230,000 she has a good start. This car still looks like new and she still gets compliments when she drives her friends to lunch in it.

Default Very nice set up

It's not an A8 but here is a pic of my old 100csq with our kayak on top.

Audi's can haul a** and a bunch of stuff.

Cheers
