^^That's a good deal Dubai, and I would imagine you would be extremely satisfied. I saw the 5th gear episode, and if Jon thinks it's much better than the standard BOSE Surround (which I have, and it is GOOD) it must be fantastic.

The Audi parking system includes parkinng sensors front and back, and an brilliant reverse camera with guidelines in the pavement on the screen. I tested this on the Q7 and it was a bit unnatural, but when you force yourself to trust it, it'sw brilliant!
The reason for the high price in Norway are insane taxes. The A8 cost me €50k in Germany, and I had to pay almost €95k in taxes to import it. The governent is a real non-car loving bunch of bastards. An example: Beacuse it's unnormal to measure displacement on wankel engines, they've added a €12000 extra tax on new cars with wankel engines. (they would otherwise loose displacement tax because the wankel has a high hp/dispacement ratio)


the €100k is the base price in Germany I think. Hardly any extras, and about €8-9k for the brakes I think and €5k for the B&O.
