Both of the above cars are from the same owner driven the same routes etc, very much a interesting case of 1:1 comparison....
So what was this model?

i7 is a full EV, the 750e is the plug in hybrid. You really don’t lose any performance, the PHEV in both the S and the 7 have more power than the V8. In any event, what I like is the smooth EV powertrain. I don’t need or want any more performance than I have now.
For the Q8 and Q7 you need the top interior packages otherwise it's not really that great.....issue is it's very very hard to find a full spec example. I've only ever seen two that had everything

Yeah I would have to special order one. The A8 is really the only Audi I think always feels nice inside.

Was thinking it might be a Hyundai/Kia. But the aluminum suspension gave away that it wasn’t a Toyota or Lexus

Agreed on that....the A6/A7/Q7/R8 all need to be maxed out spec wise to be nice.

My car can can be shut off but told to continue to heat the cabin via residual engine heat and the electric water pump included for this usage. It worked great and I came back 40 min later to an 80* car

Its a standard feature on any A8, that was the W12.....this is the first time I've had a reason to try the system out.
