As my son said, the 4.2 in his S4 was great except for mileage. I put nearly 90K on a '06 A8 with 4.2 with no issues and for that big a car it got decent mileage...

a 5v V8 @ 7200 just hasss to be experienced
it's velvety and violent and awesome - the intake snarl rips and snorts
the //S5 particularly sounds like a German IROC (not in a bad way) - the cabin sound is fantabular
RS4 FTMFW... spectacular machines... just embrace 15k Carbonoscopy's... FU FSI! 8-/...tho... 5v@EIGHTYTWOhundo... just wow. At their Streets of Tomorrow product launch yrseses back they (AoA) foolhardily setup an autox course. Timed. Bwaha. I set FTD in 1st @ the limiter... Just Not Right.
I say dance w/ that devil if you don't pile on the miles (I do 20-22k/yr d'oh). I realllly still want an RS4cab, my good bud just scored a navy/silver one... sigh. It's on 'the list'. RS4 is a tad forumchallenge'd tho 8-/ (my 600 is near worse). Lotta chooches unfort.
put //S5cabs on the menu too for that matter...pretty neat combo of elements (I'm all for topless 4seats w/ a trunk 6spd V8... quattro to boot (TorSen just kicksrse end of story). And some of their color motif's on those are simply breathtaking. Be picky for THE right one, I say heh heh.
Miks S. - D3 A8... good buy right now, lotta car for the $... I've some exposure to them if you ever have Q's. Good to see a localish autox nut 8-)...

I saw an RS4 here in Alpharetta, Ga. just the other day. Real nice throaty sound when the car was given a bit of gas. And wheel wells were a nice touch. IMHO

If I had parking space for less that $300 a month and fewer cars, I'd own an A8. If nothing else, we are driving to Florida and back again this year and this would be a great car for that. As well as a good overall barge for Boston roads.
Albeit if I had parking space for less than $300 a month I'd have another half dozen cars by now. And I have to think about possibly towing the appliance to Nebraska for National next year. Miata's a light car, but I don't think A8 would make a great tow vehicle for a 3,000 mile roundtrip, would it?
BTW. I've driven RS6 when it was available in 2003. I truly do not understand that car. Complete overkill in my book.
