Insider's Guide: New 2010 Luxury Debuts

2010 Audi A8
The next-generation Audi A8 will be unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show later this year, but there's already plenty of speculation about it. Rumor has it that the new big-boy will boast sharper styling, closer in feel to the bolder lines of the A5 and new A4 than the soft curves of the current car. Power will come from a variety of Audi powerplants, from the 3.0-liter TDI V-6 to possibly a 600-plus horsepower V-12 in S8 versions. Either way, it looks like the A8's days of being the conservative one in the luxury sedan segment are numbered.
