Default Audi A8L???

Any members taken delivery of a new A8L??? My Wife has a 750LI BMW now. She likes the BMW, but I am really impressed with the new Audi. Any feedback is appreciated.

Just had a black one next to me today. Think I still like the previous body style a bit better, but it's still way better then the blahhh bloated looking 7 series. New interior is really really nice.

I love a nice Audi. Tecnology is top notch. Looks IMO are much better than Beamer. I want an s8 so bad it hurts. I haven't taken one on trade one for a new Honda yet. I don't know why.

Ive done film on plenty of them, they drive like a dream, even the new A7 is sweet. Audi stepped up their game and are dominating the market right now in their respective classes. S8 and RS8 should be out soon.

Looks like there may be an 12' S8 coming out however no mention of engines, seems it may be either a fi version of the new V10s or a new TT V8. Since Audi has a new turbo V8 line coming, I'm swaying towards a higher output TT V8 as most likely vs a version of the V10.

The previous S8 may not have been the fastest in it's class but it smoked the Benz/BMW in looks, interior, and presence.
