The Bottom Line: The 2009 Audi S8 is a very powerful big sedan with some excellent handling features, but it doesn't offer all of the latest in-dash gizmos, and you trade a luxury ride for performance.

The Bottom Line: The big 2008 Audi A8 L W12 combines high luxury and surprisingly sporty performance. Its tech credentials are anchored by a stellar Bang & Olufsen audio system, and include some innovative driving tech. While quite nice to drive, a chauffeur makes a fine accessory.

The Bottom Line: We enjoyed spending time behind the wheel of the 2007 Audi A6, whether driving winding mountain roads or cruising the freeway. The car does a good job of justifying its high price with a luxurious interior, good cabin gadgets, and excellent handling.
