In HK people are starting to like the audi more.
the price is good and they are getting better.
I waiting for the new A6 and see if that any good.
If itis OK I mite change to that for the time being until the F10 come out.
But there is no car that can match the e60 for handling right now.

Audi makes a nice car but the A8 vs 545i? They're totally different cars. The A8L is a limo.
I looked at and drove the Audi a6 v8 S-line 4.2 V8(would be the appropriate comparison) and came out costing as much if not more than a 550i, especially on a lease around NJ. AWD was the only real difference. Enjoy your A8.
Oh yeah, does Audi have a great forum like this..?

No point in making the comparison, they're entirely different cars and PeruBMW545i has already made his decision. If he wants a luxury limousine rather than a drivers car, it's a very good choice. I considered buying a (used) A8 3 years ago, but after a 2 hour test drive I decided that it just wasn't the car for me, although I can perfectly understand that it's the ultimate car for some people.

I agree with you 100% on the "better interior comment". The new Audi's at the LA Auto Show had amazing interiors. BMW will have to address their interiors down the road sometime. BMW maintains their great driving aspects but they are becoming a little bland.
It seemed like there was 10 times the amount of people in the Audi booth than the BMW booth, at the auto show.
Congrats on the new car, I am considering a Audi for my next car, maybe the new S5 or A5.

I like the S5 very much. Fab interior. That said, I think the exterior design is alittle bland for this much heralded car. The interior though is simply stunning, I can say enough. If given the choice, I'd get 335 loaded. Or get a Cayman.
