The new S8 may not be as -fun or as bombastic- as the Mercedes S Class, but isn't that just a matter of personal preference and taste? Does that mean that the S8 is in any way inferior (or superior) to the Mercedes S Class? Do you believe those who are genuinely in the market for a luxury sport sedan are primarily looking for a -fund and bombastic- car, as opposed to an extremely competent luxury limo/sedan? Why would anyone want a -fun and bombastic- luxury sedan/limo? IMHO, those who are in the market for a -fun and bombastic- car would opt for an Audi RS7 Sportback, which has basically the specs similar as that of the S8, but with a clear emphasis on -fun and bombastic-.

A friend of mine was gonna buy this car. Couldn-t afford it he said. He makes $300K a year. Remember you need to be able to afford a lambo if u buy this. The rule of thumb is you have to be able to afford it in cash twice. That means you gotta have at least $240, 000 sitting around. No wonder my fiend didn-t buy

Note the 3. 24 sec 0-60, far better than the 3. 8 Audi states, of course we all know they always understate their car's performance. Ive also seen multiple 3. 4 times on reviews. I had a 2015 S8 and loved it, and have a 2018 RS5 now. They also have far better 0-60's than claimed by Audi.

Audi make wonderful cars, pretty much every one of them to be honest but the only one that I would like to own is the A5, mostly because of its drop dead gorgeous looks. The rest, including the A8/S8 look so god damn dull. I would rather have Cholera than any of them.

I went with the '21 A8 60TFSI (V8. So $110K vs $150K+. Identical luxury, similar V8. The S8 is naturally, incredibly better. However, you can have 4 0-60 and save a bit by scaling to the normal V8. I'm not certain that 3. 3 vs 4, or extra S trims, will be worth $40K.

They really need to make an RS8, it would be great! I love this car, I-d definitely have one as well as an S63. Also I-ve been thinking, Audi is lacking some RS cars. As I said, an RS8 is needed but also an RS1. That would be a good car too.

Interesting how the all time worst of the big 3 now has become the best. The all new S-Class is a total failure. The BMW 7 Series is excellent, but it needs a bit more of the class of this A8. The A8 is the german luxury boat to go for now.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why these reviewers think the vast majority of people ( like 98%) who buy this car or other luxury vehicles give a damn about -launch control-! It-s ridiculous to, me

Why not show the most thought out feature? The sun blinds in the front can be dusted sideways all the way. All the frigging way.
And the windshield wipers spray water out where it moves to
