When I'm on business trips I rent a mid-size car which is usually a POS....I drive in a couple hundred miles, then come back to the airport and get in the A8....power, smooth, torque, torque, seats soft as leather....etc. etc. Then I get on the highway and bitch about the blind spots everywhere, including the front pillars....but you've got to bitch about something, right?

Try driving an A4 without leather and a 1.8T for a week, hopefully you are 5' 11" or taller, then get in an A8, even a 97 and you'll be amazed at the level of trim, quality of materials, and how easily the car goes forward.....all for an amazing price! Good thing all of those A4 and A6 sales have paid for the engineering on the A8. :-)

Try driving a A6 4.2, sport setup, and you won't be so exited about your A8.

Why not? I was still exited about my A8 after driving a '01 S6....
