>> Excellent report Eliot, really enjoyable reading. Just a slight correction >> the A8 3.7 is available with 5-speed tiptronic (at least over here). >> Appearantly it will appear in the 4.2 as well later this year. >I believe it's already in the S8 (yeah, it's not in production, yet...). >From what I hear the S8 will be six speed manual only.
