November 28, 201213 yr Reuters has reported that Volkswagen's Audi division will suspend A7, A8 and R8 production in the first of 2013 is Euro Slump widens. http://news.yahoo.com/audi-may-suspend-high-end-car-production-slump-153611290--finance.html
November 30, 201213 yr Odd since they were thinking of making an R10 super car based on the Le Mans race car with a 700 hp TDI engine. But perhaps they know the new S-class goes on sale next year and no one will be buying the A8.
November 30, 201213 yr who can afford all the high end stuff? Plus for its volume, Audi has a lot or way too many models.

True, it has never been able to break through against the S-class and 7-series. But if their new A8 can't sell against a 7 year old S-class, I imagine a rough year is in store when the new S-class goes on sale.
December 3, 201213 yr Audi sold 541 A8s in the US for November 2012 One might think the need for alarm is already there.
