To compensate myself for having to move from London, England to Stockholm, Sweden (and no longer being able to watch Top Gear on BBC2!), I bought myself a nice, shiny Audi A8 3.2 FSI Quattro that's just over two years old. The dealer is taking care of a few small scratches and things and I am picking it up in less than a month's time!
It's sapphire black metallic with amaretto leather and vavona wood...and OEM 19" two-tone 12-spoke wheels. In other words, the same setup The Transporter drives in the sequel. The extras are too many to mention but some of my favorites include: radar-controlled cruise control, advanced key (i.e. keyless go), sunroof with solar panels to cool car when parked in the sun, iPod interface integrated into the Audi MMI system, comfort seats adjustable every conceivable way, Alcantara headliner.

Some may say I should've gone for the V8 (especially coming from a BMW 7-series V8) but with gas prices where they are (and the wife nagging about the environment), the 3.2 V6 with common-rail injection was the smarter choice...and I wanted this particular color combination. I was interested in the diesels at first, but Sweden's archaic tax rules would make that uneconomical.
I can't wait 'til I am picking it up!
