But then if youre gonna say that you cant moan about the S8's gearing as surely you choose an S8 for power and an A8 more for comfort. I chose mine for wafting around rather than blatting around the Nurburgring, and based my choice upon just wanting effortless luxury cruising and the toys. I also chose it because i liked the interior half leather and alcantara more than other interiors I had seen. I guess at the end of the day we all have different reasons for choosing a car im just saying dont moan at Audi for producing a lower gearing in the S8 than the A8 when thats what the car was about - I guess most owners who bought them new werent worried about the mpg as much as today too!
