They are being replaced with the SP9000 - saw an ad for them in
one of the car magazines.  They claim much better performance
especially in the wet ... but ad's do tend to claim things like
that!

I wonder how long it'll take the A4 'sport' package to run-out of
SP8000's and start using the 9000's?
