2011 Audi A8 - Drive Time Review

[bbenjaminblu]

@djensoer it's not to lock the doors its the tweeters for the sound system, I'm an Audi guy

[DLoungetv]

Jesus that's a hot car

[audirs5lover]

great review sir!

[makizee1]

In Australia..Vehicles are almost two times more expensive..When one is down under it takes more money to get..

[robbyjai]

only 100k????? Gee's i'd love to pay that kind of money for an A8 in Australia.. My Q7 cost me 140k. My Q5 cost me 90k! My brand new A6 cost me 130k and my S3 cost me 80k as well!!!! 100k for a car is NOTHING!!!

@robbyjai looool

[hopplacowboy]

@robbyjai what do you do for a living? i'd love that job

[vman66441]

5 people cant afford it including me but I'm not hitting the dislike button

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@vman66441 In about 5 years you'll be able to.

[Worldwillend1]

Yo Steve, wats A8 prices?

[zlatkoale]

kopuci,pred tri dena go kupiv ovoj model

[KenGold666]

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

[USA4July1776]

I rented the A7 in Spain last summer... amazing and gorgeous vehicle. The A8 would be a dream come true... I can't afford it... yet!

[devrajvarma]

3 pplz are bus drivers.

[TheCaspoe]

@djensoer no, it are some speakers of the Bang & Olufsen sound system

[metalicpsp]

Sticker Shock.......thats considered cheap, in Australia this car costs $249,000 and our dollar is stronger...

[MrJOHNNY1688]

3:55 can someone plase tell me what does that do??

[metalicpsp]

@MrJOHNNY1688 Bang & Olufsen System Tweeter.

[djensoer]

@MrJOHNNY1688 its to lock/unlock doors

[maestro18]

Front grille is very ugly.

[MrAthanz]

sticker shock no joke

[76carmel]

Steve,

I'm jealous of your work, dude. Comparing contemporary cars and this Audi A8, or wish list dream machines (cars over $75K). 

[305pride]

at 4:19 wtf is that a zombie?!

[stevehammes]

@305pride Ha, ha! That's test-driver Chris playing the role of pedestrian for the demo of night vision.

[reevsaj]

Looks like a longer A4, or A6... Getting a bit boring.

[swaggerchampp]

@reevsaj seriously.. same goes for bmw.. they're all looking the same =/ germany needs to step it up

[reevsaj]

@swaggerchampp It is getting bad at BMW, but it's not as bad as Audi. Even Audi's SUVs are almost indistinguishable from their Estate cars and Hatchbacks.

[swaggerchampp]

@reevsaj true true

[manish330i]

alpina B7> A8 

[shocktrooper1000]

would love to see theAudi S8 review.

[khunopie]

I'm having deja vu....

[radudeATL]

@khunopie Steve liked it so much, he had to review it twice! :-)

[stevehammes]

@radudeATL One of my frequent commentators...bg1379 brought an editorial error to my attention so I had to reedit the piece and stick it back up. My bad. 

[radudeATL]

@stevehammes No worries...I had figured that was the case... BTW: today I bought a 2011 Mazda3 i Touring. I'm super-happy with it! Thanks for your reviews/input - it's a sweet drive!

[DevPack]

@radudeATL hey when are you doing the new focus really waiting on a good review before i go buy the car :)

[d0ugz24]

noice

[flyerholland]

i like the new a8 but i wish they woulnd do the 'familly' face like they are now. the older gen a8 really stood apart from the a6 and a4.
