Audi U.S. sayz if the A8 is going to be imported, it will be in late '96. 
That is IF they decide to import it. There will probably two V8 models (I 
don't think the current 2.8 V6 A8 will do in U.S.): the 4.2 V8 will be 
quattro equipped, and 3.7 V8 will not be available with quattro. The A8 
2.8 does not have the option of going quattro either.

But all and all, at least Audi is thinking of importing A8 into U.S. Now, 
if someone could persuade Audi to thinking of importing RS2... Nah.
