neu a8

[David Eaton]

what are people's thoughts on the new a8?

i like it, more aggressive and coherent shape than the old one, more sporty
- although uncomfortable close in side view to the s-class.  its arse is
pretty good, better than the a6 (wouldn't be hard), and not anything close
to the 7-series monstrosity (actually I have as much trouble with the
suv-like front of the 7).  the rear of the 7-series reminds me of the late
lamented leyland p76 - where the boot was designed to carry a 44-gallon
barrel.

wrt the a8, overall a nice shape, and a very nice update on the old.
engines also a worthwhile update on the old, although the diesel ones will
be worth looking out for.
