    You are correct. I was joking around. Although, If you just to to a dealer and buy and Audi, it's going to be a Quattro.

  • @2011blueman
    @2011blueman 12 лет назад +1

    That's somewhat the point. Audi goes for understated elegance. Audi buyers are those that are affluent but don't like to show off. Being able to drive or ride in a very high end auto that won't attract a lot of unwanted attention is a big plus, whereas driving around in a flashy car just makes you look like a douche.

    i sat in one of these new A8s. Its overpriced and the build quality of the interior was terrible, everything around felt cheap. S classes and 7 Series will continue dominate sales in this market segment ; Audi isn't a desirable brand in the A6-A7-A8 range
