D5 s8
Will it isn't a diesel as the rest of the S cars seem to be these days, sounds like a nice car, but is it really relevant anymore?
https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review...s8-2019-review As I'm not going to be the first buyer on one of these, I hope so The depreciation curve will be mega |

Me too, when it's depreciated enough
I showed the wife yesterday, good news is she loves it so won't need to persuade her. Bad news is, she wants one now!

I too like that.
By the time most of use would consider buying one though would leave us with ageing unproven systems. That 4 wheel steering and active suspension would no doubt cost a fortune to repair or replace should it decide to fail. Stunning car though.
