Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.
1. 2008 Audi A8 L W12
Editors' rating: 9.0
The good: The Bang & Olufsen audio system delivers exceptional audio quality in the 2008 Audi A8 L, and Bluetooth phone integration is excellent. The car handles superbly for its size, while pampering occupants with a very smooth ride. Innovative driving tech includes lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control. The refrigerator just hits it over the top.
The bad: Fuel economy is predictably poor, especially in city driving. The navigation system doesn't offer much beyond basic route guidance. A trunk-mounted DVD changer uses an awkward cartridge system.
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.
