S8 (really A8) gold package, OPINIONS?

[Theron J. Bliss]

Oh my god, that's the most wretched thing I've ever heard.  I think gold accents
ruin a car.  I saw a V8 that I was thinking of buying, but it was all trimmed in
gold, and looked like a cheesy Honda or Toyota (no offense, but they love the
gold cheese).   Gold....EWE.  No offense, but sounds like a perfectly good A8 was
destroyed.

BTW, if you need them weighted, they can put weights on the inside of the wheels
you know.
