    Im sorry but i do not agree with this statement.

    It is neither the worst or the best i have driven.

    I will take any Audi, for handling over a G8 any day of the week. When i was out looking at cars i test drove both a G8 and a Audi 1.8T And i know the G8 will not out handle a corvette.

    I also noticed that in the interior picture, its got a vauxhaul symbol on the sterring wheel but if you look at the cluster, in the speedometer, it clearly has a G8 symbol on it...
