Default Pulled the trigger on the A8

I am pretty pumped. It is Atlas grey/Amaretto 05 SWB. thanks for everyones insight and suggestions with the decision making process. I will post pics shortly. It has pretty much every option except for the sport package. I am excited to check out the cruise control system. Otherwise the ride is silky smooth and I am loving the MMI interface. The phone feature works flawlessly with my IPhone. I had the dealer update the software before I left which took a while but was worth it.

It has Bridgestone Potenza'a which are a little worn but passed CPO inspection. they seem kinda noisy but maybe its just me.

I can't wait to see lotsa pictures!

That sounds like a classy ride. Congrats!

Were you specifically looking for a SWB?

Default Sweet - my favorite color combo!

If you're noticing tire noise, it probably is the tires. Mine quieted substantially when I got my new Yokayama's

I was looking for an SWB but would have taken a L if it was a good deal.
