This car seems more fun, more power, AWD...and as someone else mentioned in another thread, german driving dynamics.
No heat from me, a totally understandable choice. But the Audi will cost tens of thousands more.

WHAT!!!?? Do it!! I will be the first to say so. Damn that. This car is hot.






Okay, maybe you should wait till the LS460 comes out next year, or atleast officially revealed.

A hybrid AWD LS is probably going to be 6 figures. Don't know what that S8's gonna run, but at those type of prices it becomes more emotional than fiscal.

The darker gray color S8 is just spectacular!

thanks for teh clarification man. so if it "needs" 20s, maybe it's 16" rotors and with the caliper it's 18"

damn that thing must be huge

i wonder what it would be like when it comes to changing new rotors...

really? i might still prefer the s65 myself, i love the v12 bi turbo

but i think the s8 would be more of an overall package for sport sedan
