That was the announce, but it leaked out a while ago. It's been in a recent order guide release, though w/out pricing. Also, the 520HP S8 is dead in the USA going forward/no longer available for order per that order guide. Will make for an odd situation with "pre-" and "post-" change 2016 S8's.

Also, if you go on the Audi USA website and click through to the local incentives, for at least the last several weeks when you look at the S8, it ends up telling you it has 605HP.

that's where we are actually. we really enjoy the central location to sanibel/captiva as well as the tampa/miami areas. we too will not give up maine in the summah evah! Wife grew up in Round Pond, and i have lived up there since 1990. Spent 4 years in Castine, and never left the state.

my biggest problem is getting beer down in FL. that new brewery in freeport (Maine Beer Company) has some really tasty brews and i am working on convincing family to pack mule some of that and a bit of Geary's/Harpoon in for the holidays.

you got a 911? i am contemplating getting one next year sometime. i want something with 4 seats and a drop top, so that kinda limits me to a handful of choices. neighbor in FL has a '14 Turbo S. Amazing vehicle.

Yesah. Wisscasset. about 20 minutes away. If you like Red's, go across the street. Same food, just no line and less $$$

if you really want some good local seafood find your way down to Shaw's Lobster Wharf in New Harbor.
