Overhangs
 
The front overhang on the A8 KILLS it for me.

Audi have a love for long front overhangs, I remember those old Audi 100 models in heavy braking tests where the front bumper looked like it would dig a trench in the road lol

Check this video after the 5min Mark hehe

Yes it is. The 7's overhang is shorter, and doesn't look anywhere near as clown car ish as the Audi does.

Agreed. Does anyone think Audi would ever change their platforms to real-wheel drive?[/QUOTE...

THINK future Audi (VAG) MEB/PPE/SPE BEV platforms. Of course, 4WD variants will also be offered.
 
In my opinion the s8 doesn't have ideal proportions but It really doesn't look THAT bad to my eyes. Lowering the hood makes It carry less mass and makes It look better than previous gens, again, in my opinion (i really don't want to sound aggressive). What makes me sad is that VW group knows how to do things right because the flying spur is so freaking perfect that you really wonder how this car would have looked with the right platform because this car is really good and i think It deserves more love than what it usually gets.

That's some poverty spec. Didnt even know you could get the S8 without the tablet i the back, matrix Reading lights, many gadgets..
 
Only two issues: the FWD base and terrible looks. Otherwise it's a masterpiece.

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
