    Are A8s not all quattro?

    I'd say it's like a big heavy yacht to drive with that heavy V8 ahead of the front wheels! I knew they did front wheel drive A8s with V6 diesels, but I can't believe anyone would order a V8 A8 without quattro - you'd want to be on serious drugs to do that!

    Seems like slim pickings so...2 cars?

    What about Japanese? The 1UZ-FE springs to mind, but only in RWD guise.

    I'd imagine the V6 diesel is as heavy, if not heavier...
