jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.28.10)
the U.S.? Politicians should not have autos that are safer than what the average citizen drives. Let them take the same chances that we all do and maybe they will improve security to save their worthless butts.

Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.28.10)
summer, maybe it has a crane included.
9. Yosi, Pini, Michael...you're such haters
Mark ,   New York   (10.28.10)
He's the leader of your country...you may not agree with all his policies but he's still your PM. What do you expect him to ride in? A 1985 corolla? I hate Obama but I don't begrudge him air force one or the dozen armored cars he has...we can't have our leaders being assassinated...no matter how much we may disagree with them. The death of elected leaders is the death of democracy.
10. They still need to take it to Jiffy Lube every 3 months
Josh S ,   USA   (10.28.10)
11. Disgusting! How dare bIBI act as if he is somebody who is...
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland,Aotearoa   (10.28.10)
somebody... Who the hell he thinks he is - a PM??? How dares he order something so utterly vain and unnecessary when children in Gaza are dying from hanger in front of stalls bursting with food?!! On the other hand, if he was a radical leftie, the expense would certainly be justified. Just think how this simple, affordable and not so expensive car would have protected peace and our dream from the evil settlers (heavy sarcasm).
12. Will Lieberman get one! Or Geert Wilders?
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (10.28.10)
13. #11- not a very bright post :-(
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (10.28.10)
If you read the news which you obviously don't, then you'd know nobody ever died of hunger in Gaza. Nobody! So much for your ignorance. Bibi is a head of state and cost of the car is minimal. Please come back after you've at least read a little, and removed the egg from your face and you will be able to participate and dicuss issues. Until then :-(
14. #6 - then you'd obviously vote for Obama ;-)
michael peterson ,   london UK   (10.28.10)
15. # 11=sarcasm
(10.29.10)
He was being sarcastic lol. He's just showing people's hypocrisey. Notice the "heavy sarcasm" in the brackets at the end?
16. numebr 13
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (10.29.10)
number 11 is joking... dont worry... we dont think you have egg on your face either :) PS. Audi ... i dont thing there could be a better choice in cars! Awesome Auto!
17. emotions rule.....what a waste of enery!!
galilean ,   Israel   (10.29.10)
Oh...people..... This vehicle belongs to the government not to Bibi. Ordered by the office of the Prime Minister. The next PM will also benefit from this car!!
18. The Leader Of Every Country Needs Adequate Protection
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (10.29.10)
Why is Bibi any different? Maybe some of you expect him to take public busses or ride a moped? Get real.
19. #16 sorry I missed the humor. I have washed off the egg ;-)
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (10.29.10)
20. Audi
G ,   Northern Israel   (10.29.10)
As loathsome an individual Bibi is, even he is entitled, like all heads of state, for an armour protected car. Obama has one. As for the humidor? Lets not get our undergarments in such a knot...think the humidor comes standard on the A8 (I could be wrong). Though the cigars do say a lot about his character.
21. A Car with a Nazi Background
Jewish Journalist ,   Washington   (10.29.10)
Audi is a luxury brand which belongs to Volkswagen, a car company which was created by the Nazi trade Union -- Deutsche Arbeitsfront -in the early 30's. According to some historians, Hitler was quite proud of it. I am surprised that no journalist working for one of Israel's leading newspapers thought about mentioning such connection. Maybe a somewhat less controversial choice would be a Lincoln Limousine. The Lincoln brand belongs to the car company created by Henry Ford, a virulent anti-semite.
