For a 115K car this looks cheezy.

I didn't know that the S8 was "only" 92K. For that price, I'd probably take it over most cars in this class...definitely the S550, Xj and 7-Series...of any variant. In fact, I think the S550 is blown away when side by side with the S8. 450HP V10? Sexy Audi looks and interior? Uh, yes please!

Pretty cool. Dont follow the Alpina line that much. Had no idea you could get it through the dealerships. Still would rather have an S8 as well.

That BMW is probably a 120K car looking at the options list, and a base price of $115,000. I'll gladly give up 50HP for the S8's lower price, good looks, better interior, and V10 "exclusivity".
