Audi A8 - Can Audi's latest luxury car step up from also-ran to must-have?

摘要

You need very little time in Audi's new A8 to confirm the scope of its ambition. Just as Audi itself is throwing model after model at the market in its drive to establish not just credibility amid its more established BMW and Mercedes rivals but something closer to superiority, so too can you detect a change of aspiration for its flagship. If the original A8 can now be seen as an admirable first effort and the second a plausible alternative to its opponents, the third is the one whose looks, specification, technology and very demean our no longer meekly suggest it might be as good as an S-class, but almost dare you to say it isn't actually a damned sight better.
