Talk:Audi V8

Sales
Some reasons, perhaps, that the V8 was not the sales success it could have been:

1) Brand counts for a lot in this market segment with Mercedes, BMW & Jaguar all having a loyal customer base who would have possibly been reluctant to change to a non-established (in that segment) brand.

2) The V8 offered features not particularly sought after in that segment i.e. 4WD and a galvanised bodyshell were not then market expectations for that vehicle class, therefore buyers may have been reluctant to pay for these. Furthermore, that class of car was expected to offer high refinement (ride quality & low noise (NVH)) and a high quality interior which the V8 did not compete against the established sellers.

Don't think it's neutral enough to just state in the article that the audi in many respects was a better car than Lexus LS400, Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series. It should be explained further. The fact that it had four wheel drive is not a good arguement alone to support such claim. The Lexus LS400, for instance, had superior engine technology, smoothness and durability to the audi V8, hence there are different advantages with each car in this class. Therefore, stating that the audi is superior requires a lot more explaination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.213.255.35 (talk) 15:11, 3 August 2008 (UTC) Deleted all of those statements.

Production figures by year and dimensions of long wheelbase version
I'd like to create nice table with production figures by year like it's here: Mercedes-Benz W126, but have no data, doees anyone now how to find such information?

Another thing is to find exact dimensions of normal and long wheelbase version, unfortunately sources on the internet vary in that matter, perhaps someone know where to find original owner's manual? Shaman (talk) 10:57, 14 May 2009 (UTC) Done. SHAMAN 20:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Body style
The article claims the "one-off experimental Avant (estate) version" is no longer on display at the Audi Forum in Ingolstadt, but this is incorrect. I was just there today and saw it on the large rotating carousel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.5.47.1 (talk) 21:02, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
