2009 Audi A8

The next iteration of Audi's luxoflagship won't boast any radical styling or interior changes. Audi instead will concentrate on performance and take a serious stab at eliminating some longtime A8 complaints--namely, mediocre handling and ho-hum steering feel. A 40/60 percent front/rear torque split, more equal weight distribution, and a modular platform shared with the A4 and the A6 are in the works. This sedan surfaces in 2009.
