Audi TT Coupe Independent Car Review
If I was to ask 50 people on the street what word sums up the Germans, I think over 50% would say ‘efficient’. It is the type of country that builds things that are extremely efficient! Nobody really thinks of the Germans as stylish. I know that there are the odd exceptions with say Heidi Klum or Claudia Schiffer…..but how can you say a country has style when 99% of the population aspire to be David Hasselhoff?
A few years after the war (Sorry, I had to mention it!) and the ‘denazification’ Germany went in to efficiency overdrive to prove to the world that they had done away with the mad Austrians with silly little Moustaches who craved world domination and that they just wanted to be loved!
How did they do this? By giving us one of the most stylish and beautiful cars ever made, the 300SL Gullwing! This car isn’t just beautiful but also efficient! So efficient in fact that when it was raced for the first time in the world famous Mille Miglia, it finished 2nd and 4th place and over the coming years would win the Le-Mans 24 hour race as well! But this unfortunately apart from the pre current SL or the Porsche 356 roadster they haven’t really given us a lot since!
Take the Audi TT for example. Anyone who knows me will know that I hated the TT when it was originally released. To me it looked like the love child of the original Vw Beetle and Albert Einstein. Yes it was stylish but in the same way I looked at people who wear leather trousers, unless you are homosexual or a biker, why would you? Read the rest of this entry »

The Audi A8 series has not disappointed when it comes to offering stylish cars into the market. In fact, the brand is best known for offering luxurious and stylish vehicles into the market while also adding comfort and performance into the mix. This is a significant reason behind the success of the brand and the performance of previous model releases will become a reference as to how the new 2012 Audi A8 will be like. Shall we get started into looking at the details of this new car model?
The best way to describe the new Audi A8 2012, according to critics, is that it is a perfect blend of luxury and efficiency. The body specifications of the A8 2012 are largely similar to that of the 2011 model, although new features were integrated into the brand new model to add more efficiency to your ride. The actual measurement of the body’s length is at 17.29 inches, while it features new LED headlights that deliver a new sense of style with its striking expression that complements the vehicle’s body style. Meanwhile, it is also an added safety function, along with several other features that were incorporated into this new 2012 A8, such as the in-trunk emergency release and the tire pressure monitoring capability.
The 2012 Audi A8 also comes equipped with many features that improve driving efficiency such as front and rear heated seats, navigation system, and parking sensors. The 2011 model got negative feedback from consumers with its use of a 17-inch tire wheels, hence the manufacturer made all the necessary adjustment with this new release and the 2012 model now comes with an 18-inch wheel.
