D4 s8's were always good looking, well the facelift ones after the model in the trailer, don't like the pre face lift headlights with the Hyundai style led's in the headlights.
![]() But it bugs me that they are rear wheel drive and not Quattro

Really!? I never knew that
![]() That'd be a total deal breaker for me. I was expecting a clip of a car transporter at a filling station ![]() I'm a bit out of touch with action movies, admittedly, but 'The Transporter', really!? What happened to the cool action movie titles of yesteryear?

Nope. Not unless I was buying it purely for track-day use.
Knowing that they're RWD, if I was in the market for a new S8, I'd rather spend the money on something that did have AWD, such as Tesla P85D even. AWD is the main reason I own an S8 now; I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
