They are available in the US, in both A8 4.2 and A8L 4.2 (long wheelbase)
versions with 310hp, as well as the S8 with 360hp.  The only A8 variant
that is *not* available in the US is the new A8L 6.0 W12 with 420hp.
Also, only the Tiptronic transmission is offered on the US models.

The A8 is not a common sight, but not *that* rare in the bay area.
