The whole idea is pants and it doesn't deliver any more economy than stop/start + common rail diesel. As for the looks of the new A8, yes it looks like an A4. I'm happy with that, least attention is best. |

I'm waiting for the moment they will abandon the 'single frame' design. Currently that 'subtle elegance' is lost. They more and more look like Christmas trees. I explain it to myself that markets shifts to Asia and majority of customers are not europeans, so designers adjust for different taste. D2 was the last proper car made by Audi. Maybe pre-fl D3. Then something broken.

I would disagree about the D3. Out of the D2/D3/D4 models I think the D3 looks the most sorted in the styling stakes. Something very bland about the D4 from the front. Side and Back are ok. D2 is dated now, nice car |

Well I do go onto the Audi configurator and built and S8 with my "money not a problem" attitude and it went to £157,900 I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the D4 yet but it will come, I just think for what the 8 is, there needs to be more of a statement and it's too blended for my liking, sits in a crowd to well and an A8 or S8 needs to be bold where everyone who walks buy one should stop and say "Aww that's nice!"
However all this said, you can't help but love what they've done with the car, I mean look at the interior and ask yourself "Where else do I want to be?" and I can't think of many ways I'd like to be driven somewhere. Regards, Mark.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962 Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs. Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons. Future Plans: Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered. Planned Mods: Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
