The D2 is a understated car, even the S8. I don't get the bling appeal of badging a A8 to a S8, you will always know in your heart of hearts that its an A8. As Billy Crystal once said, what's more important to look good or to feel good?
I drove my FL S8 for 5 years badged as a A8 2.8, with body-colour mirrors and eventually A8 grills.
Much more fun this way
