Hello there,

The new D4 was launched last night see following links:

New S8

Audi TV info:

Look from about 40 minutes onwards - first bit is a bit too arty for me...

Initial thoughts are that is looks pretty nice - we'll have to wait and see though.

I hope the rear looks a little more impressive than it does in the pics - it looks like an A4. No insult to A4s, but this is a flagship super saloon, not a repmoblile (once again, no insult to A4s, just that every manufacturer seems to be making all their cars look the same). The front end looks great though.

My thoughts also Jon. I'd also like to see what the S8 would look like. It feels like it needs to beef out a little if that makes sense. Would be nice to see flared arches as found on the RS6...Yum!

Wonder if it'll be in my budget when the D3 of Doom is paid for... Looking nice. Or may just get a D3 S8 first.

Default Wow!

"The next S8 is likely to be seen late next year, powered by a turbo V8 rather than the Lambo-sourced V10 of the current model."
