What does it say about you?
That you're supremely self-assured, and that you've got the kind of job that requires you to take people -- important people -- around with you from time to time.
Who will it attract?
People who like gadgets. This thing has so many doodads and techno-toys that you could spend your entire first night together playing with them (and hopefully a few other things).
Its best angle:
From the palatial rear seat. Also, from back there, you can appreciate all of Audi's interior-design supremacy -- truly, no one designs automobile interiors (Audi calls them "atmospheres") so artfully.
Where to take it on your first date:
Anywhere dark and secluded. My advice: Pick up something from the Wendy's drive-thru and head to your local romantic overlook (every city has one). Then summon Barry White to croon through the gazillion-speaker Bose surround-sound stereo, hop in the back seat, roll up the rear window shades and chow down, baby.
What's the real story?
There's something so bold, so strong and so, well, big about this car that you want to take a closer look, not just at the car but at whoever its powerhouse of a driver must be. The almighty hugeness of its front grille, the sheer length of its body and the T-square purposefulness in its lines convey nothing but pure rock-solid strength.
Inside, the all-business interior is gorgeous, from the tunneled gauges to lustrous wood paneling to the somewhat fussy but learnable "multimedia interface" (MMI) that fine tunes the stereo, navigation and climate controls. Thankfully, most audio and climate controls still have regular buttons (unlike on certain BMWs), so you don't have to be Einstein to switch from NPR to the Rolling Stones CD you installed in the glovebox-mounted 6-CD changer.
Driving the big Audi is like piloting a locomotive. All-wheel-drive adds surefootedness, while the 330-hp V-8 has power everywhere. Cornering is remarkably flat for a sedan this size, and the ride is, well, like buttah.
