I know, I know, its all the rage (so WE think) and high tech and everything
else.  How many of us REALLY want an A8?  Someone (an afficianado of German
cars from Munchen) made a good point about the A8:  If, god forbid, you get
into a collision of some kind, where do you take it for repairs?  Our
existing collision repair infrastructure knows almost nothing about all
aluminum autos.  Can we say EXPENSIVE?  Wait till the insurance companies
figure out their risks on this one!  Sure, there's the NSX, but how many of
them did Honda sell?  Supposedly, the A8 isn't doing too well in Europe,
either.  

just food for thought.
