  1. Not a bad word on tech and interior other than it appears to be sublime. I´m a BMW fan but for this segment I do prefer the exterior looks of Mercedes over both BMW and AUDI - in fact I do not like the looks of this Audi at all - it´s both pretentious with all its chrome and oversized grill and it is also rather a dull appearance at the same time, there is nearly nothing in shapes, creases or other exterior features that clearly defines this top Audi (The rear maybe) - the MB in comparison has some very defined graciousness and the BMW is not pretty but has more personality than this A8. And why the fake exhausts I really do not understand in this price class. Long time back big cars was much more common and the designs was far more interesting - The only one I have seen work with this lately is Mercedes and the Maybach divisions concepts - That is far more interesting approach to the top end of luxury limousines. To me is feels like the growing Chinese markets have had its markets driven influence on design decisions for this A8 - and that is to a European eye sadly not a good thing. But well it is apart from that oversized grill so anonymous that it will deliver important people of state and commerces to their destinations in the most appropriate and unexcited way - job done for that - yes absolutely. But let´s for moment assume that you have owned a top spec Panamera, but you now want to full monty of a luxury limo with a private driver in front part time - Is this A8 really gonna be the choice or will e.g a Bentley be much more likely?.
