Are there mitsubishi Evolution 7 in the united states?
Consumer reports will say it all. Mercedes, Volvo, BMW's and most European cars have dropped significantly in reliability and dependabilty over the past decade while the Japanese (Acura, Lexus & Infiniti) have surfaced as the most reliable rides on the market. The A8, if memory serves me, is a phenomenal drive; however, and this is a huge however to those of us that like cars, European cars as a whole have consistently (over the past 10-12 years now) received extremely low marks on dependability and the repair record is among the industry's worst. Thier repair records are equal those of the Yugos from 15 years ago! But, for the best answers, look it up on either JD Powers, Edmunds or Consumer Reports, where you'll get feedback from >10,000 owners of these cars as opposed to the opinions of 5-10 car addicts here..
For me, if my car has a special home in the repair shop, if the mechanics have given it a name like Sophia or Molly, and they all have a personal relationship with me and my car... and if the neighbors always see me driving that cool Ford Fusion rental/loner from the shop, then I own (or it owns me) the wrong car- PERIOD!
Ok, you car experts, is there a ...?
VW PaethonIf moneys not an issue why not a new A8 under warranty, or a bmw 7series if you dont need the quattro. Youll never get the same performance/driving experience if you switch to a japanese/american car.
Why is the peugeot 406 coupe so rare to find?
Mercedes Benz S550 or a CLS 550 for a four door. The CLS is not made for people over 6' though. It' a little cramped. A CL550 for a full size coupe. A BMW 7 series, but they've had electrical gremlin problems too! The BMW 6 series has a surprisingly narrow driver cockpit. if you want to step up there's the Maserati Quattroporte, now that's a sweat ride!Which oil for a ford focus 1.6 trend 2004 (zetec se?
Infiniti M45. I have owned everything from a Audi to Jaguars. You would be very impressed with this car for the money!What is the rudest name for a fantasy baseball team?
You do not specify what generation of A8 you own. The BMW 7 series is an obvious competitor. What about the current MB E550 sedan? Audi S6 sedan? E63 AMG when it launches? Please don't compare Infinity/Lexus/Acura to high end German sedans. MB/BMW/Audi outsell the Japanese wannabe competition 3 to 1 or better Globally. Let's not pretend that the japanese can build a better car than the Germans who helped build the japanese auto industry 30/40 years ago! Here's a perfect example for all you japanese car lovers >>MB C55 AMG vs BMW M3 vs Audi RS4 >> what japanese car competes with these? None..Thank you and take care!To the guy above me - you owned a jaguar? You know jaguar is owned by ford? And that the company and it's products are a joke right? That's why the company is in the sh*ts, and can't put out a product to save their lives!
