I am a huge Audi fan, I agree with his comments that the Audi fells like it's shrinking around you, I had one for few weeks on an extended test drive, still a huge barge but definitely not as floaty as the 7 series.

 

I can't wait for the RS4 to get here.

Less then a Panamera TT. Just as fast..more room..no hatchback rear with a weird roof line. Sign me up!

 

 

my a8 l 4.0 has the same engine but makes 100 hp less .bigger turbos,different fuel mapping etc.

The V8 TT + DSG 7 speed (S6 and S7) is a great package.

 

It's a shame the drivetrain was left out of the refreshed R8 and the new RS4 Avant.

The S8 I believe is a different 8-speed transmission as well

Yes it is, it's a sweet transmission but not as sporty as the DSG.

I had an S7 for the weekend last week and drove it to Petit Lemans. I really enjoyed it and the tech in the car was top notch. Really amazing how fast it is with the 420hp motor in it--much faster than the RS6 I had in 2003 with 450hp in it. Audi really stepped it up with this new line of S cars.....

I'm sure the new S8 is an awesome car, but its looks are as bland as it gets.

 

 

I like the looks because they are understated and classy, the good thing about it, you still drive an amazing car, sporty, luxurious but you aren't being judged/perceived as if you would if you were in a Benz or a BMW, win, win in my opinion.
