Last week, I just picked up my S8.  I think that it is the best Audi yet
produced (but I am partial to V8 engines).  I actually really like the 18
inch wheels.  I do think that 19's would look great, but from the practical
side, the harshness and the replacement factor from potholes around St.
Louis would suck.  What it does need is a manual tranny.  The downshifts are
way too slow and the Tiptronic just doesn't cut the mustard.  Oh and the
steering is waaay too light.  Ride, handling, acceleration and comfort are
top notch.  Once I get some miles on it, I will write some more about it.
