Clarkson reviews the A8
In todays Sunday Times! Most of the article was a long rant about car leasing.
It was a 3.0 Diesel "50" that he tested. Overall quite liked it but found the ride in the rear (where he reckoned most buyers would travel) to be a bit bumpy, though said it was otherwise a very nice place to sit and beat all the competition. Also thought the touchscreen concept was rubbish, with which I for one agree! As for "Never trust a man who has cleaning equipment in his car. There is something wrong with him"... draw your own conclusions.
