S8 Test-drive finally!
Not yet I haven't but after 6 months of trying (not very hard), my salesman stopped by the office to say the owner of the dealership has his daughter in one as a "demo". He's arranging her to have it there this Saturday so I'm excited. Hopefully, I haven't built it up too much in my mind.

S4? If your considering the S8, why settle for a S4? The RS4 is WAAYYY more car.

"Big" is, of course, relative to what you're used to. In my experience with the car (brief, but I've driven it a bit), the S8 does feel large, but not as large a a 7-series or S-class.
Wonderful car though.

.The 8 is a big car, but its managable. I'm sure its a lot more taught than the a8L we drove in, which should help 'size it down'..at least in the feel category.
and yah, if you go s4, why not RS4 ..or S5!
