Default I totally disagree

But then again I've seen the Nuvolari in person. It looks great.

Having said that the new A8 looks killer. I want one bad.

Default No doubt, I could learn to live with the Nuvolari ...

.
I'm not sure about that sharp edge running down the side of the car, but I'd probably get used to even that.

Everything else -- Wow!

With FSI the V10 is up to 600 hp!

And even the instrument lighting has been fixed; it's now blue! Those of us that are red-green color blind can now read the instruments during the day :-)

Default Ok, that's my next A8! :-)

Just think about it, a small chip, and that oil burner will be up to ~350 HP. And it will have torque like a Mack truck, from idle. It will without doubt leave the 4,2 in the dust, at any speed. I like!

Better even, it will be cheaper than the 4,2 here, since taxes are based on displacement and power (pre chip that is... :-) )

Default I had enough trouble with the Shark Fin on the back of the new BWM 7 series

But those "bunny ears" on that "concept" is just so wrong......I guess the never follow idea was misunderstood......

Default I'm not 100% sure about the lines of the car......

But if the heart that is beating in the body of the beast is any indication of what Audi has in store for the S8 and RS8........a BiTurbo V10?? 0-62 in 4.1 seconds......

Yeah, I think the new S8 and RS8 will be JUST FINE!!!!!!
