Audi ditches front-wheel drive for future A8s

VW Phaeton is 4WD

Not quattro

Why they now get it for A8, but still don't get it for other model lines?

All Audis should be Quattro -- this is bleeding obvious -- **all** including A1's and A2's.

P.S. And of course all Audi model lines should have all-aluminium chassis and come with Extended Leather III, Xenon Plus, ACC, B&O, night vision and solar sunroof. No exceptions -- basic config. And wheels not smaller than R20s -- these should be standard. Small wheels look pathetic. W12 everywhere. No exceptions. I insist. The only option should be twin turbo.

Considering they are the number one selling premium car brand in the country, slightly ahead of BMW and massively ahead of Mercedes, outselling the likes of Renault, Citroen, Toyota, Nissan etc... Whatever Audi are doing, makes sense from a business point of view.

They are not doing enough. Brands like Renault, Citroen, Toyota, Nissan and Fiat should leave the business...

Nah, then there would be even more Audi's on the road. I'm already fed up of the millions of S Line A3/4 models with DRL's everywhere. I remember the mid ninties when owning an Audi actually meant something. Let's face it, 80% of the ones on the road aren't anything particularly special, just expensive VAG stuff.
