New Audi A8 unveiled

[Rilot]

I don't like the outside. Looks like a massive A4.
The interior and technology though..... yum.

This means that the prices of the current gen A8 will drop hard over the next 6 months as the used market floods with 3yr olds and newer. Makes my plan of getting a W12 that little bit easier.

I think it looks ok on the outside, interior looks very nice though!

 

[Matt82]

i think the outside looks fine tbh. there are some monstrosities on the road, but that looks fine

Has those B&O speakers clarkson was harping on about.

I don't like the outside. Looks like a massive A4.

To be fair, when has the A8 looked like anything other than a massive A4?

 

[Firestar_3x]

Looks quite nice, not 100% on the dash, its definitely got its inspiration from the E60.

 

[Steedie]

Ooooh I'm a sucker for nice interiors, and that does funny things to me!

 

[flat-6]

Back 2/3rds is good but the front looks a bit awkward. It really is just a big A4, more so than ever before.

 

[Sukh]

Don't really like the exterior, looks like a lazy design. Interior looks good

How to design an A8:

Take the plans for the A4
Set photocopier to 150% enlargement
Press "Copy"
Present new plans for sign off

what the ****?
every audi now looks identical.

i swear i can barely tell the difference between an A4 and an A6. the only way i'll be able to tell its an A8 is from the size.
yawn.

Doesn't look at all special from the few shots I looked at on autocar, but I bet in the flesh it's an entirely different story. I'm guessing 95% of the sales will be for the diesel, which seems upto the job.

Hmmm, looks alright actually. Not sure its going to crater residuals in the way you think though Rilot.

And Steedie, your sig sucks. Why have a picture of a white LCI 3dr M Sport 1 Series when you have a 5 door Sport? Just put your own car in your sig rather than the one you wish you'd bought instead.

The fastest available diesel on launch will be quicker to 62 mph than the fastest available petrol. That can't be too common.

And come on Steedie, didn't you know that everyone MUST HAVE the cars they own in their sigs rather than random cars that they like? It has been decreed .

 

[Alex UK]

Looks too similar to the current A8 I think. Hope they do another S8.

He probably doesn't have a sig worthy photo...

Who cares as to the reason (but for sig nazi). I'm guessing Alex doesn't own a Ferrari and I'm guessing that Sukh doesn't own whatever the hell that is. Whether they do or they don't however, doesn't really matter.

He does have a 120d, though. Duh.

Not that I'd expect you to care, after all, you don't seem to care about modifying other peoples images without permission?

No need to get your Y-fronts in a twist about it. He owns a 1 series, he doesn't have a decent pic so he's used another picture.

But robbies sig is awesome
