It is very pricey, you can get more car for your money if you buy the Astra sedan.

But then you'd have to drive a GM car

You mean the European and SA COTY?

Lovely VC aside.... Impressive.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Yeah that is certainly decent.

My "old" 2.0T would be lucky to go under 10 in similar traffic.

That virtual cockpit is fantastic!

That virtual cockpit is fantastic!

Agreed. It is the current benchmark for digital dashboards.

The upcoming new A8 is said to have VC 2.0.

Let's see what that brings.

I saw some of the other ones on BMW, Jag and LandRover, but nothing comes close.

Imo after VC the next best is from the JLR group. Then Benz. Then BM then everyone else like Renault; Honda; Volvo.
