Audi A8 L: 10 reasons why you want one!

We found a very nice article about the Audi A8 L over at AudiWorld. Nice job, Jason.

I want an A8 L. Every time I drive one my urge to abandon my nimble S4 in favor of the supersized, luxury sedan grows even stronger.

It’s not so much that I like the exterior design – although I do, and I consider it to quite easily be the most beautiful of all big sedans in the market today. The torque-laden V8 is a nice feature, but in reality I already have the same powerplant in my S4. The innovative Aluminum Space Frame is cool in an I-can’t-touch-it-but-know-it’s-a-big-differentiator kind of way; I’m really focused on things more tangible.

What kinds of things? If you allow me to start at a baseline whereby the A8 L is indeed a very well designed, capably powered, safe and luxurious automobile then we instead need to talk about the special goodies Audi has thoughtfully thrown into the mix. From the company that prides itself on having Vorsprung durch Technik literally flowing through its veins, it is unsurprising to see the confluence of technology and common-sense functionality which is pervasive throughout the vehicle.

Here are the top ten things which push the A8 L over the top (in no particular order).
1. Advanced Key Intelligent Security System
2. Adaptive Lighting (in conjunction with bi-xenon headlights)
3. Unmatched Audi Interior
4. Bluetooth Integration
5. Long Wheelbase
6. Alcantara Inserts and Headliner
7. Audi’s MMI (Multi Media Interface)
8. Self-Retracting Video Screen
9. Starter Button
10. Adaptive Suspension
