Our 1999 A8 4.2Q's lease is ending in less than a year. While talking to my saleswoman, she said that the new A8 is coming out next year, and maybe we should extend the lease for a few months since there is no point buying a old model right before the new one is going to come out. Any new info or dates.?

Thanks Steve

The last rumours I've heard says first half of 2002 in Germany. So you might expect early 2003 in the US.

Nothing is confirmed from the factory as far as I have heard or read, but since there has been no spy photos and no announcements from Audi yet, delivery in 12-18 months from now seems a bit optimistic to me.

The photos that has been around for a while are claimed to be design studies, not even prototypes. Rumours referred in various magazines says that these studies had to get back to the drawing board last year for major changes.
