The A8 and most of Audi offerings, while handsome, have never looked attractive to me. It has perfect proportions but looks bland and dated. Nice performance though. I'm a sucker for the S-class and will likely get the new one soon, but if I wanted performance I think I'd probably look towards Mazerati unless bimmer does something amazing with the next 7.

 

I've driven both the A8 and the LS, I still would likely choose the LS.

 

Come on, really?

 

Both have actually grown on me since I posted that lol

 

a8 does not have perfect proportions. hell naw.

thing only looks slightly better than a FWD car, which it is in europe.

 

Good answer!!!

In all honesty, I also think the original S5 was the most cohesive design, but the facelift gave it a more modern feel. Not as distinctive, but updated.

Unfortunately, the pre-facelift S5 Coupe was only available with the gas-sucking V8, and I will take the Supercharged V6 over that any day of the week!
