I work for Norwich Union, and the site in question relates to our "Pay-as-you-drive" system.. "Why do we exclude the Audi A8?.. Well quite simply, it's the only car that we cannot get the device to work in at present. We are looking for a solution though

It scored a 4/5 on the CR report, but I think it cause the high cost of repairs, since the 8 is mostly hand crafted.

Oh my that's shocking, I imagine it maybe because the A8 is constructed out of aluminium, but other cars are now being made out of alternatives to steel

probably just because they cost so much to fix. maybe they get stolen alot too... but really, there is no good reason.
I wouldn't use a company that refused to insure certain types of cars. Its one thing for a company to not want to insure a Ferrarri or Lambo, but A8? c'mon!

Maybe we have the film 'Ronin' to thank for this one, maybe they thing all A8 owners are psycotic gun dealers & hitmen, which wouldn't fit their image. Try Churchill!!

It might be a popular one with car thieves and they are sick of paying for replacement ones.
