Very nice car, unfortunately most ugly Audi to date.

Oh hell no. That price, the Q3 takes easy.

Oh hell no. That price, the Q3 takes easy.

Don't know, I quite like the Q3, not for me, but its a nice girl car. As for the A8/S8, I just can't like it (the exterior only). Compared to the previous A8/S8, which is probably one of the most beautiful sedans Audi has built. The new one just doesn't look right. Quite disapointing since the 7 Series looks boring, the coming S Class overdone/messy, the Quattroporte just doesn't feel Italian and the XJ, well not totally in love.

Not as big as fan of this latest one as I was with the old one but its still a reasonably nice looking car when compared with its German counterparts. IMO you have to go Italian or the British XJ to get a really pretty super saloon.

Other than its looking its about as good as super saloons get IMO.

IMO, in no way is this Audi about as good as it gets in super saloons. If you're going to get an iffy looking car of this size, then a Panamara is the ticket. S AMG still looks better even if its in the last hour, looks better thant he A8/S8. The A/S8 suffers from FWD proportions and a goofy body, and this is from someone who tried really hard to like the car. The interior, performance etc are first rate, but good looking it is not.

That's gotta be one of the best and most detailed test of the S8 so far. Everybody gotta see this.

The performance is really mindblowing, and so is the interior and all the high-tech stuff in the car. The S8 sure looks better then the A8, but oh if the car had a better design, it would be unbeatable.

 

[Levi68]

I'm sure the S8 is more an "RS8" in terms of power.

Fantastic review!

I think so too. That car is just sick.

That is one of the best looking luxury saloons

For me saying "the A8 is one of the best looking luxury saloons" is like saying "the 1 Series is one of the best looking sports hatches".

Oh let's not exaggerate here. The A8 is not beautiful. But you can't really compare it to the ugly ducking 1er.

 

[AudiQuattro]

I was not sure of the design when it debut but it has really grown on me now and these last pics have just sealed it for me. I really like it now

 

[JHF]

I want the white S8.

 

[Levi68]

Everyday I see the the A8 (black) and the 7 Series (Dark Blue), and the BMW just looks so much better (exterior). The BMW looks like a proper luxury limo, A8 looks like a giant A4, and A4 Sedan is far from being a beauty.

 

[Deckhook]

^The problem I have with most A8s is wheel choice, get it wrong and it does has more than a whiff of A4 about it and sadly on stock rims of 18/19" this is what you see, it takes the rotor 20/21" to give the car real presence and stand out. I've seen two S8s now on the road on what looks like 21" and boy does it look the part, especially in dark blue metallic.

I saw previous generation S8 yesterday. So much better looking than the new one.
