Default New Audi in the family - A8 4.2 TDI Quattro

After a 4+ month wait picked up the new car on Thursday night after ordering it late last November. It's an A8 4.2 TDI Quattro in Northern Lights Blue.

Still learning how to use it all but initial impressions are that it's awesome - very fast, instant response, and so smooth..

Default will they bring the TDI to the states?

With all the effort they're putting into the R10 TDI racecar, they should bring a lot of TDI models over here!!!

Default I'd agree with you there

Except perhaps for James Blunt and Genesis. ;-)

Congrats you lucky bastard lol. I love diesels and a diesel Audi has to rock. On my gas A8L I was getting 26mpg on the highway.
