Sort of like the Mercedes grill has altered over the years from a huge chrome piece to a more subtle opening on newer models. I doubt it will go away, but I really think it will be used to give different models a slightly different feel based upon noticeable differences. Right know the grill looks basically the same on all their models (A3, A4, A6, A8). |

I am going to look at both this weekend. Has anyone driven these Audis? I am leaning towards the S8.

| I took the plunge, and bought the Audi. I posted photos in my Car Space site I gave up a Range Rover Sport, which I really liked, so I hope that I have a positive experience with the Audi. "> | |

Replying to: scottphillip (Oct 04, 2006 11:36 am) I've seen the ~ $78K S6 and the ~$120K S8. The S8 would be my first choice, or so I thought. The S6 has given me pause. What are the features, performance and size differences. The S8 is built on the SWB A8 chassis, yes?

Replying to: scottphillip (Oct 10, 2006 12:37 pm) Well not really. The S6 can't match the performance of the E63 or M5 for that matter hence it should cost less, IMO. M

Replying to: scottphillip (Oct 04, 2006 11:36 am) I am new to this forum, but I just saw your post, so I wanted to reply. I have picked up my S8 3 weeks ago and cannot be happier. The car is absolutely unbelievable. You can drive it as a complete luxury car, or you can pop it into sport mode and drive it like a bat out of hell. The interior is absolutely the best in class, in my opinion. People have been stopping me everywhere and asking to see the car, engine, inside, etc... I drove the S6 as well before I took possession of the 8, and it is nice. But I prefer the space and sumptuouseness of the S8. Let me know if you have any questions.
