Thumbs up D4 A8 - I like it now.....ish

Was at Goodwood FOS () yesterday (boy was it hot) and sat in a new W12 A8L.

Looked fantastic in a dark pearlescent grey on 21" RS5 wheels.

I'll post a photo when I get a chance.

Sorry about the people in the way...

Aberdeen Audi hasn't had a fully loaded one on show yet.

I keep looking every time my '8 needs to go in for yet more warranty work....

It's 3 years old soon so I need to purchase a Warranty or just go back to Mercs.

Stew,

I see what you mean, it looks alright in the photo. Ugly in every other. Hmm, I'm sure it will grow on us.

True; felt the same way about the BMW E60 at launch... It grew on me, and I got one in 2006 lol
