Contrary to intuition, Q8 is smaller than its statue brother Q7 (
Still in production)
Five seats, not seven.
It is 66mm shorter than Q7, 27mm wider and has a reclined Coupe
It looks more like a cock.
In fact, it looks beautiful.
Despite the 50 TDI boot badge, it's made up of three-

My only annoyance is that the car starts rolling a bit slowly when it starts off from a still place.
While some of my colleagues don't like the huge grille very much, I find that I have almost nothing to dislike about the Audi Q8.
