"...at least five Dutch cabinet members expressed dissatisfaction with the Audi A6 sedans they received as their government-issued vehicles. So naturally the poor sods went to their respective physicians to ask for a written medical statement declaring their backs and joints too delicate for the A6 model, a luxury car that goes for roughly 50,000 euros (66,000 dollars). The doctors complied, and all five of the tender-bodied politicians were then promptly provided with an Audi A8, at a cost to taxpayers of about 90,000 euros (119,000 dollars) per vehicle."
