Re: SPY PICS: 2008 Audi A8 Facelift

No that is not true. I would take the new C class over the ageing A4 right now. CL class is also nice.

Wow, stunning!

The A8 even beats the 7-series in every single department. Audi really did a superb job with the this A8 and if they can make the new one a lot better, they have a damn good shot of giving the S-class a tough fight.

I agree 100% with you. A8 is IMO THE best luxury sedan in present time.

What? Of course there will be one, and it will get all the upgrades the others get. Wouldn't expect some spectacular hp increase though.

I'm just saying, it's not like the S8's gonna come out the same time as the facelift A8. So that would mean the facelift S8 would arrive with less then a year to the new model I'm thinking, I don't know!

This car will be one sweet pick on the second hand market in a few years.

New steering wheel, and it looks damn nice too.

The headrest are "old"! They were also standard equipement, when you ordered the comfort seats with massage and ventilation... ...but Audi offers new wood variations.

I believe the same steering wheel was offered from the start with the A8 W12 (although it has small new aluminium inserts around the buttons in the 2008 model) Also there's now more aluminium/chrome throughout the interior and the Bang&Olufsen sound system is standard, so different speakers:

What, is the B&O system standard?? That has got to have increased the price a notch.

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I thought I read somewhere that it was added to standard equipment (W12 model) some time ago. I could be wrong though...
