Yay 1st post typed on my new iPhone

Did you type it, or get Siri to do it? The D3 should be better especially with its 6 speed gearbox. I've always maintained the worst feature on the D2 S8 is the crappy gearing, my RS 6 sits 1k rpm lower at motorway speeds then the S8 did which means it will be a lot more economical. Its annoying how it sits there at 1k rpm more then an A8 when doing the same speed so the A8 can do 30 MPG and the S8 only 23. Vorsprung Durch technik my ass, still love the D2 S8 though, that's the only thing I can fault about it.
