Default Pics of my new ride.. (warning: Audi, not Lexus)

So all year I have been planning on buying a 2009 460L. Nobel Spinel/Alabaster.

While I have been waiting for cars to get here, I run into a guy with an 08 Audi A8L, and I really liked it. I read all the reviews, comparisons and so on, and got convinced I'd rather have the Audi. I put all this into another thread.

Some folks said "sure, show the pictures" (even if the car is made in the wrong country). So here we go:
















Some photoshop fun in the last one there.

The interior is fabulous, but the light was not right for photographing it. The .9% financing was enticing.

This is the best car forum on the internet, in my book. Everyone is so positive and helpful. I did find a good Audi forum too. Best of luck to everyone here, I'll probably still hang around.

And enjoy your great Lexus!

JustBob.

Nice car Bob. I bet the interior is just as stunning the exterior. Enjoy it!

Nice, but this thread really belongs in the "Digital Photography" forum...

You'll also get critiqued there, all for the better, of course.

Cool

Nice car. My partner opted to buy the same car in gray. He's enjoying the car tremendously. Nevertheless, our office seems to enjoy the bigger back seat and ride of my 460L notwithstanding they will gladly ride in either.

Very nice A8. I love the look and I am sure it still commands the attention of the world as a LS460L.

MMmmmm.. tasty.

Congrats, the A8 is one sweet ride. I parked next to a black A8L yesterday, pointed to the car and said to the wife - "I want that."

My Boss has the same exact vehicle and he must have your same taste because he traded his SC Lexus for it....
