Tran$porter Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi, I was invited to go to the launch of a new dealership and the unveiling of the new model A8l. I was very impressed with the new dealership "Oldham Audi, Manchester" a fine facility, with welcoming and friendly staff. The workshops are transparent and immaculate and most of all I got to see this beauty! What does everyone think of the new model? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hhmmm I'm not too sure I like it. It looks like it would be a car to appeal to the Americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran$porter Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I kind of agree Rob, it did have that feel about it it was still a stunning looking car but it appeared to narrow of to the front and rear slightly more than its predecessor. Making it feel more American, I'm not too sure about the virtual interior either I like the feel of Audi switchgear and love analogue displays, not sure I'm ready to ditch that yet. Still it was very beautiful to look at and felt every bit the A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the grand unveiling and apparently the only vehicle available to display was brought in from Germany to display, hence the left hand drive. I'm not sure there are any others in the country yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 lol shocking really, Grand opening and forgot to order a right hand drive car to display :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran$porter Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't think they forgot, apparently this one is doing the rounds at the dealers for a while. I should have asked what the pre order time was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Q Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I looks alright, I do have to agree that they seem to be targeting the American market both with the exterior and interior. That virtual reality head set thing to look at your spec choice sounds quite good. But then again you want to make sure it's right if your spend £100,000+ on a car! I bet it was an amazing experience going to the unavailing Fraser :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-B5 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I agree with everyone else here, defo targeted at Americans, but I love the interior but the outer shell I'm not too keen on, still it's an Audi it will be good ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
