Gorgeous style, sumptuous interiors, German precision--what's not to love?
Audi A8
The Audi A8 carries on with an uber-luxurious interior and athletic handling, but a major redesign in 2011 should bring it back to its technology-laden flagship status. In 2010, only the 4.2-liter V8 is available on the standard and L (long) wheelbase models. While it may come with slightly less cachet than its German rivals, it will leave you with more cash in your pocket while you enjoy your front-seat back massage.
