Default What made the A8 the car for you?

What streared you away from the A6 4.2 and into the A8? Just curious. I am trying to decide which Audi is right for me. I like them all!

The A8 is bigger and roomier, better handling and weighs about the same. I find it prettier to, but YMMV.

I would choose the A8 over the S6 every day too, as long as I get the sports-interior.

Default Biggest AWD car that's not too flashy...

I replaced my suv with the A8. I love every aspect of having an AWD and the handling of a car...A damn good car. I do miss the cargo capacity of the suv though. But I only used it once in a while. It doesn't suck up gas like a suv either. b

Default Looked Better

I liked the look of the A8 much better than the A6.
