Pics Pics Pics! I saw the new A8 in the flesh!
Here are the pics I took at Neckarsulm where I got to see the new A8 in the flesh! (read the story in my 24 08 post)
For starters, here's a view of the Audi plant in Neckarsulm, Germany. You can see the ready made cars lined up for transportation.

Another illustration of how large the factory really is.

So far I had not yet seen an A8 over there. I decided to take a look at the other side of the plant. Et voilą: my very first spy pic was born. Not a very fortunate one might I add. The sun and a large green curtain on a fence stood in the way. Lots of wood showing though.

I really love this one. It's a beautiful sideway pic emphasising the back doors and windows.

The complete thing sideways. It looks good fellas! Lower and sportier to me.

The black spot on the right is a bit of the fence standing in the way. Wonder where these babies are going to end up?

I'll post four more pics; somehow it doesn't seem to work when I try to put them inside this post.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/11994.phtml">Link to story</a></li></ul>

Re: Pics Pics Pics! I saw the new A8 in the flesh!
Looks awesome. Dunno about the read end though. I'll wait till the real-world view through my own eyes before judgement, as always (cars look better in the flesh than in the pics...always...unlike women).

The old and the new in one pic (+others)!
An attempt to take another inside shot. Fence and sun blocking the view. Rear seating.

Another attempt. Lots of wood showing though behind the steering wheel.
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/33383/new_a8-h.jpg">
Still wrapped in factory tissue and with an open hood. Most of their hoods were opened, I wonder why.

An exclusive! The old and the new in one pic. You decide ;-)

Those silvers really show the differences
I still admit, I love the styling over the old A8, but seeing that pic of the 2 side by side is a GREAT shot!!!! Never thought I'd admit that the old body style shows her age, but maybe it does a little (still a lot to be said about the classic good looks of it though) Seeing these is making me want to see the new A8 in the flesh even more
