I have to admit, I am liking what I see in the short video clips. Reminds me of what I thought of the D4 when I first saw it. Hated pics of the interior but loved the real life version.

News story today related to same: Audi A8 Set to Swing Into View With Debut of New Spider-Man Flick | TheDetroitBureau.com

FWIW, the front clip is looking somewhat shortened to me in that front side view. A welcome change by me to reduce the front overhang if I have the scaling right, though others seem to like that.

Everything is looking super conservative (in a good way.)

Can't wait for the full reveal.

No real surprises in terms of styling, looks like Audi is keeping it in line with the design features of the other models.

Wonder if that's a touch screen.

Infotainment screen reminds me a bit of the new Panamera, which is sweet. Not sure I'm ready for AI and the digital cockpit. Anyway, just got a new S8+, so I'm out of the market for while. Figured it would take a good year to see the new A8 and probably two years for the new S8, and even then I don't like to buy the first of an all new platform.
