The asians can try all they want, but no way in hell will they ever come close to matching European luxury cars like the Audi. ]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/

Pretty much a limousine, so this A8 is meant to be driven by someone else :)]]>Dec 2nd 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/
And from my observations, A8 owners drive themselves. I havent seen a single A8 on the road with a chauffeur. If you can afford a full time driver you can afford much more than the A8. ]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/audi-a8-mmi-adds-handwriting-recognition-to-list-of-2011-feature/Dec 2nd 2009 12:33PM
