Won’t get you to the shop though. Need a tow truck for that.

It is light, one can push it.

It can do anything except look interesting.

Not if it doesn’t run :p

Here is a better alternative. And most people like RWD better than FWD anyway ;)

In other words, the car can’t do it. You need to do that yourself.

Why not RS6 Avant(C5)? Has all of those plus two turbos and extra room for dogs/stuff/activities.

Has vomit inducing chrome sofa wheels.

Is not good.

Yes, but once it is broken it stops being a car and becomes the best paper weight

Too big and heavy to be a ‘do it all’ kind of vehicle. I question your ‘has sporty’ claim.

Yes, Audi S8 is also best locomotive.

Has less comfy, no V8.

My citroen won't start > dogisbadob
08/16/2016 at 15:40

As much as like the LS (and I do like it a lot) the S8 is just better in every conceivable non-reliability related way.

08/16/2016 at 15:40

Two turbos are good, but it is less comfy and the V8 sounds nicer.

Counterpoint.

Does everything mentioned before, but with a V10. What more could you ask for?

Matchpoint.

No 90's charm.

I had an A4, and it’s the one car I owned that I truly miss.

However, that Audi cost me more to repair than any other car, it left me stranded more times than any other car, and it had more options on it that did not work correctly than any other car.

Maybe we fall in love with the wrong cars?

I got to admit that I like the D3 a bit more but the D2 A8s are sleek and have aged extremely well, unlike the W140.

Party-vi > My citroen won't start

One of the better looking cars Audi has made in recent memory. I saw a purple D2 A8 last night and just stared at it.

90s German Large Executive Car is best Executive Car.

The D2 has a lot of presence on the road even though it’s conservatively styled.

It also has a lot of presence in the shop.

They look like hubcaps.

BvdV - The Dutch Engineer > My citroen won't start

Yes I agree that the NA V8 sounds better, though the Biturbo V8 also sounds quite good. And the comfort of a RS6 is doable, though I guess it’s maybe a bit too firm for long distances, not as cushy as an A8 anyway.

My citroen won't start > notsomethingstructural
08/16/2016 at 15:52

Show me some nice wheels then, so I can disagree with you even if the wheels you show me are actually pretty.

dogisbadob > My citroen won't start
08/16/2016 at 15:53

The Acura Legend and RL are cool, too. FWD like the A8, all the good things you like about the A8, and much better cars.

And there’s also the full-size pre-CT6 Cadllacs. The Deville/DTS and XTS

The XTS and newer RL/RLX are FWD-based AWD just like your Audis :)

Is it bad that I search for FWD A8's on Craigslist from time to time and think they’re funny?

cletus44 aka Clayton Seams > My citroen won't start
08/16/2016 at 15:54

Not to me. Now that silver Maserati you posted a while back, that’s interesting. Would love to have one of those.

My citroen won't start > dogisbadob
08/16/2016 at 15:57

S8 is not FWD like its weak brethren, Audi S8 is powerful AWD.

My citroen won't start > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams
08/16/2016 at 15:58

That’s a dream car right there, the 5000 GT Coupe by Frua, just 5 made if I’m not mistaken.

cletus44 aka Clayton Seams > My citroen won't start
08/16/2016 at 16:01

It’s striking. I thought it was a Mexico at first glance. Very special car.

duurtlang > My citroen won't start

So it’s fast in a straight line. Fast =/= sporty. A Miata is sporty, yet not (very) fast.

My citroen won't start > duurtlang
08/16/2016 at 16:06

I understand what you mean, compared to other regular cars I see the S8 being sporty, because it certainly isn’t all that fast, but it is light, has AWD and quite a good suspension
