well.... looked at
an S8 but until other banks come out with their residuals and money factors I will not get one with AoA's lease terms. On a car that is only 8k more then my RS6 was they want a $1000.00 more a month in payment then my RS6. I want to see what other banks come out with. I might also wait a year and pick one up used... that is how we got our current S8. Got it 6 months used with 7400 miles on it for over 20k under invoice. For some reason the 8's don't really hold their value very well.... although the D3 might be different because it seems to be a fantastic car.
As for the RS4. Love the chassis and looks of the car but at this point I think I will hold off. In the 'smaller cars I am really a turbo fan. In fact, I am actually looking at an A4 2.0tq black with the titanium package. With the proper 'upgrades' I think I can get the car about as fast as a B7 S4 since it is a few hundred lbs lighter. I would also put the B7 S4 seats in it or import Euro RS4 seats. Car would also get Ohlins, Alcon's, center diff, exhaust and maybe engine upgrades. Not really sure yet but car would only be around for a year or so.
Also, had thoughts of a B7 S4 'project' car as well.... but who knows?

the other banks' rates on the S8 probably won't be better any time soon.
I waited for other rates for the RS4, and they ended up being worse. Better MF, but worse residual -> higher payment. That may have changed since June though, I don't know.
