I love audis. my wife and I own three currently (2001 s4, 2004 a6, and 2010 a5) but an a8/s8 does not hold a candle to the all aroundness to the s class has been holding for years. i wont even mention the tech advantage that the s has over the s8.

now if they come out with the tt v10 engine in an s8...game over.

Wait a couple of weeks for the new A8.

how are you liking the 2010 A5 im looking to pick one up in the coming months and would like to see how owners like theirs...

thanks

wow thats crazy...audi is taking over!

Surprising since Audi never has the great deals like MB and BMW always have. Still a huge Audi fan and have been ever since I first bought mine in 2006

I used to own an Audi TT and I had horrible experiences with it. The timing belt, serpintine, and all associated hardware HAD to be changed out before 70k miles or risk the engine blowing. Along with that - the gauge cluster failed horribly too - and Audi wouldnt fix either since the engine was "preventative maintenance" and the cluster "wasnt covered under warranty"... my a**. Finally Audi agreed to replace clusters after a class-action, but I had more damn problems with that car than anything else.

Nonetheless, I took the beating and still loved my Audi. I have even looked at the new S5's and I just cant stop the infatuation...! must be those headlights... LOL
