Audi needs to bump up the HP in the Q8 and lower the price by $5k

This will drive the sales down for the Q8, and as OP says, the price of this car will eventually drop, or it will be discontinued in a few years.
Thanks, the 8 just doesn't feel very special when driving one, nor sitting in one other than at night (the T/S stuff will be in Chevys soon), especially not for $80K+

I'm one of those 4/5 people. Fingerprint smudge magnet touch controls, fake exhaust ports and the added convience of 3rd row seating swayed us into a Q7 over Q6..i mean 8.

Get your current version Audis while you still can...cost cutting is a very real thing here.

Big reasons for the cost cutting, the tab on Diesel-Gate is up to $6.25 Billion just for 2018, $2 Billion tacked on in 2019 and another billion in 2020 ... the tab so far is a WHOPPING $27 BILLION EUROS or $30 BILLION US!


Since 2015, the German car making group has paid more than 27 billion euros to settle investor and consumer lawsuits as well as regulatory fines and remedies tied to resolving excessive emissions levels in its diesel cars. In 2020 Volkswagen Group will see costs of about 1 billion euros related to emissions cheating, Witter told the paper.
