A8 6.0 prominently featured in WSJ Weekend Journal article "The $100,000 Family Car" today.
Some highlights:
- Also featured: Maserati Quattroporte: $100,000; Mercedes S600: $123,000; VW PhA8ton: 102,000; BMW 760Li: $117,000; Bentley Continental GT: $150,000
- In comparison table, note is made that the A8 6.0 gets you to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds "about 1.1 seconds faster than a standard A8 which costs $45,000 less."
- "About 9,000 cars sold for over $100,000 last yaer in the U.S."
- "When rival BMW came out with a six-figure model, Audi said, 'Hey, you know, we can do this, too'" Quote attributed to Len Hunt. (Never follow, eh, Lenny-boy?)
- Lexus reportedly looking at the segment.
- Funny quote from LA rea-estate guy who bought the Bentley: "Suddenly, the Bentley is a mid-priced car."
