That is sweet!

We almost went with an A7 when wife was shopping for her car, and I am glad she went with the Cayenne. But this S7/S8 is making me think twice. Maybe I'll trade my 997 for one? Nah.....

First,thanks to the OP for sharing these pics with us
I have always liked Audi's exterior styling,however the interior does not seem to have improved much..it looks more blah,bland and full of plastic than ever...however, my grandfather would have really liked those fabric lined seats
Though the interior styling of the Porsche Panamera/Cayenne 958/991 has established a benchmark of sportiness and elegance that few cars can match,or in Audi's case:even dream of matching

IMO the silver has once again made a great looking car seem dull. I rarely every like silver on cars, and this is a good example of why.
This line up of cars is very intriguing. Porsche has a great infortainment system but Audi's is better than anyone else right now. Would I trade in my CTT for one of these, probably not!
The thing about Audi is that they always peak my interest but never enough for me to pull the trigger.

Color has always been a subject of personal taste. I for one think silver looks awesome on certain cars, those Audi's being one of them.

Could not have said it better "Audi is that they always peak my interest but never enough for me to pull the trigger".

One thing I don't like about Audi is the fact they use too many of the LED day time running lights. Take for example, the Christmas Lights on the Q7. Too many....

Another case of IMHO
In the world of LEDs, Audi's look the most distinctive and interesting.

Yes,love the led's on the S8
However,in the C&D review, 3 descriptions of the S8 pop out:
It would be "a mistake to confuse this 4400 pounder with a sports car"
"Understeer is the order of the day"
"There is considerable body roll"
Yikes
