Next Car: D3 S8, D4 4.2 or something else???

I’ll subscribe to this thread.

After losing very nice D2 in an accident it looks like D4s and D5s are almost all diesel which is a big no no for me. No high spec examples too (even adaptive cruise is rare, never seen D4 with ACC and B&O). Nothing decent in 20k range. Even stretching it to 30k all you can have in A8 world is diesel and low spec. They also all look pretty awful after subtle elegance of D2.

Tried to look at Porsche Cayenne/Macan, but not convinced yet.
Volvo looks good outside, but cheap interiors. Not really premium segment.
Lexus LS460 looks too jap to me.
Newer A6s and Q7s are nice, but are all diesel :-Q

Electric cars are just not mature enough.

I need to be more open minded. Tough times.
