Audi only brings in 400 a year, only available in an automatic in the States....it bases around $75k and has 360hp. Really a gorgeous car, would love to have one.

I heard that the Audi 8 series is the safest car in the world. From a Volvo salesman, in the Volvo showroom.

I was in there, bullshitting about the S60 T5, and the topic of saftey came up. Apparently, Volvo studies these things rather closely because, well, they're Volvo. He said that the Volvos are the best, unless money is no issue. In that case, get an S-class MB.

I asked if there was anything more, that Mercedes seemed sort of obvious. So, he starts in on a 5 minute speach about the A8's "Space Frame". Pretty incredable stuff. Go to the Audi site if you want to read about it.
