Default I was just at the dealership early today, looking at an A8L, and WOW...

Some car. I love it, so beautiful, so elegant. The interior in our A6's are damn nice, but it pales in comparison with the new A8. Its gorgeous, and that nav flat panel which rolls out of the dash is awesome. I'd buy the car if I could afford for that thing alone!! (j/k)

Truly a beautiful car, and for a sticker of $75k, I wouldn't expect anything less from Audi.

My kid loved it too, he was telling the salesman "this is alot nicer than my daddy's a6". I kept agreeing with him. Unfortunatly, I haven't hit any numbers on the Mega Millions lately.

Yeah, they sure are beautiful. And the computer control is actually intuitive!

Default The checkbook's staying home. I'm window shopping for the 4.2's replacement, which won't be

replaced for two years. Plus, there's absolutely no way that I would get the A8---or any car, for that matter---in its first year of production.

But, I've got to see what it drives like, and how it looks in person.

Default Most definitely. It now looks like it will be tomorrow, not today, however, as the weather over

downtown Dallas is extremely threatening right now, and the dealer just called me to say that they don't want the car taken out right now, and could I please reschedule for tomorrow?
