Sweet!
Is this that Audi/VW secret testing center or just a prep center? I remember some disgruntled employee posted the secret location with all scheduled arrival/return times of all cars going out and returning in the Audi newsgroup...
The A8 definitely looks nicer than the Phaeton in the long wheel base version. The Phaeton's door makes it look like an after thought to lengthen the car (but man that door is VERY long) and white doesn't look good on the Phaeton.
The A8 is getting the BMW style sharkfin antenna?

That's from a local dealership.
Living in Tampa, we also see a lot of test vehicles (RS6's, Phaetons, A8's, and A3's). But this is an actual dealer import, not a test vehicle.

Yeah, hehe, at least here in North America...
The A8 in the photo looks a bit longer than those in the press photos, but then they don't seem to put the L badge on them anymore becasue US bound cars doesn't have shortwheel base...
I wonder if us Canucks will get the shortwheel base version. Mercedes actually imported the shortwheel base cars into Canada, not available in the US.
