 | Re: Audi A8 Named Safest Car by Which Magazine. This is interesting. Where does BMW and Mercedes-Benz rate on this test ....they always make a much bigger issue about safety than Audi

| Re: Audi A8 Named Safest Car by Which Magazine. Did they even test BMWs or Mercs? i'd imagine that they wouldn't be able to test all types makes and models on the market; only a sample.

| Re: Audi A8 Named Safest Car by Which Magazine. A magazine that dosent put the S-class and the 7 series in their top ten safety list is foolish. BTW what outstanding safety features does the A8 have?

| Re: Audi A8 Named Safest Car by Which Magazine. Oh sure ...it certainly is, I am not disputing that. My point was simply that Mercedes and BMW (BMW perhaps to a lesser extent) for a long time now, have promoted their cars with safety being a major selling point.
