I had a chance at the Beijing auto show today to sit down\u2014or, more accurately, to sit in<\/em>\u2014and experience Audi\u2019s latest interior enhancement, the optional reclining rear seat in the 2011 A8L<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As seen in this gorgeous mulberry-and-white Audi Individual treatment, the cushy right rear seat slinks down and forward at the touch of a button. Simultaneously, the seat ahead moves up and out of your way, tumbles, and deploys a footrest from its backside, turning the interior of Audi\u2019s biggest sedan into a three-passenger leather-lined cocoon. The footrest can be tilted up and down and the seat it\u2019s mounted to slid fore and aft to accommodate persons of varying heights. Assuming you\u2019re traveling unaccompanied, there\u2019s no way you\u2019d need any more room than this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The curbside rear chair also includes a massage function. If you manage to stay awake during the ride (unlikely) there\u2019s a pop-out writing desk available for the special business-class passenger. Or you can watch something on the huge, 10.2-inch video screen, the angle of which is remotely adjustable via one of the ten billiondy buttons and switches found on the full-length center console.<\/p>\n

A journalist never turns down a seat at the end of a long auto-show day, and I\u2019m glad I parked my rear in the rear of this parked Audi.<\/p>\n
