A7 and A8 continue to teeter on the edge of irrelevancy.

Makes one wonder when these numbers are better than Toyota Land Cruiser, what is keeping Toyota from offing that old dino? Must be a feeling that it is better to have something outdated in the space than nothing at all.

Land Cruiser sells globally to a lot more locations than Audi does. It also shares a lot of parts with other Toyotas. It is one of the few truly global vehicles out there that doesn't change much from country to country and sells everywhere.

Makes sense, I wonder what the global run rate is for the beast?
