Test drove the new AUDI A8

WOW!! nice feel to it, it was one of my customer's cars, with all the options he paid about $85k, so i was a bit nervous to drive it really hard. but it is a heavy car (A8 4288 lbs and the A8L is 4400 lbs.). with all the torque and hp it still feels beastly though. man this is luxury and performance... it will own you if it is modded slightly and this guys car!! ok just wanted to share my first ever audi driving impression.
i think he got his 0-60 down to 4.2 seconds or something like that + quattro AWD and it launches unreal. shave off about 1000 pounds and wow!! the potential. i still like the looks of the older models though. especially the wagons

damn that's hot! i'm planning on selling my car very soon, and was considering an A4 or another 325i. but after being in hawaii, I want either a Tacoma or Frontier. The wife wants the LR3 though. what to get...what to get...

if i had the $$$ i'd rock the A8.
