Default "Built Audi Tough" [edited]

Have I mentioned how this car has more utility value than the average Joe might think?

One time I fit one of those large picnic cooler boxes upright in the trunk with about an inch and a half to spare. My brother-in-law and sister and my parents who were visiting at that time couldn't believe their eyes.

Last week I went to Home Depot and loaded up some 5 1/2' planks through the ski pass-thru; in length, they barely went over the rear arm rest. The ski sack is a nice classy touch in keeping the interior scratch and dirt free. Of course, we could've easily fit 6 1/2ers in there, but... naah.

IMHO, I dislike cars with large trunks with them speakers/subs sticking down from the parcel shelf. It totally kills the load capability.

All the IKEA furniture in my house was loaded in my A8 at some point. Love that trunk!

Next, I'm going to see if a 2 or 3-burner grill will fit...

Default You can close the trunk with 10' pipe inside.

Rests on the dash, through the ski sack opening, to the driver's side rear corner of the trunk.
