Audi A8: Competing head-to-head with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the BMW 7 Series, the 5-passenger Audi A8 differentiates itself with an aluminum space-frame construction. Available in both the standard A8 model and the long-wheelbase A8 L, the lightweight chassis increases fuel economy and structural rigidity for a better ride, according to the manufacturer. As with its German competitors, the A8 offers the choice between 8- or 12-cylinder power (the engine is a W-12). In addition, Audi offers a powerful V-10 engine in the high-performance S8. All are mated to Audi's quattro permanent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. In standard trim, the Audi A8 earned EPA fuel-economy estimates of 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway. In the 2007 IQS, which measures problems experienced by buyers after 90 days of ownership, the Audi A8 ranked highest in its segment. For 2008, Audi recalibrated the steering, improved soundproofing, and made several additional cosmetic and accessory changes to their flagship model.
