2012 A8L has some LEMONS to admit and RESOLVE - 2012 Audi A8
By grnltrn - February 9 - 1:35 pmAudi is building a few (hopefully) LEMONS and attempting to outrun their flawed automobiles with marketing dollars. A search of the AUDI forums disclose a number of late model A8L vehicles with similar problems and a lack of acknowledgement by Audi that they intend to stand behind their warrantees. Audi is intimidating dealers, directing them to not service the car or refusing to pay them for warrantee repairs.

The best Luxury Car money can buy!!! - 2012 Audi A8
By donnie13 - March 25 - 7:03 amI had a 2006 750LI and loved this car. Traded for a 2009 Audi A8L and while was a great car, didnt have enough pizazz. Traded it for a 2010 Mercedes S-Class. Was a good car but too soft. Felt floaty. Bought a 2011 Eguus, while a good car, too jittery and not refined. Now comes the new 2012 Audi A8L! Unbelievable car. Out drives and performs better than all of the above. Feels like youre driving a Bentley for half the price. Fit and finish, impeccable. Ride is stiff when needed and firm at just the right time. Im a car buff as you can see by all the cars I purchase and Im more impressed with this car than any of the large luxury cars Ive owned, including my past 2009 A8L.
