What next?
I'm not thinking of getting rid of my D2 S8 anytime soon but out of interest, where do you go next? It would have to be a 4 door, room in the back for a child seat, 2 tall adults in the front, powerful and circa £7K or less. I'm hoping the price of the 5.0 Jag XF will have dropped by the time I get round to changing but other than that my mind is a blank. After owning 3 Audi's in succession a change might be nice.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

All good answers but I'm desperately trying to think of a non-Audi for the next car.
The problem is that the S8 ticks so many boxes that whatever follows has a lot to live up to. The styling of Audi's from the mid 2000's doesn't really do it for me I'm afraid so I'm not likely to get a newer model of A/S8.

You won't get a nice one for £7k just yet, but then again you'll be saving loads on fuel
