   I agree, I saw an A8 the other day and it was the first time I saw
one in motion, making it all the better. It was painted what I like to
call "German silver," the silver(not sure if/don't think it's metallic)
that o' so many German cars look sooo goood in. That color makes it look
very chiseled, much more so that a dark color, I think. But whatever
color, it is one BEAUTIFUL CAR! A lister(I will not mention his name,
thank you very little) recently stated that he thought the design made
the 7-series "look dated." I just want to oppose that opinion and say
that I think the 740iL/750iL is unbelievably sculpted, "fat"(that is a
good term), and very aggressive in stance. To me it has that "cat ready
to pounce" effect. Jaguar should have designed the 7s.
    On to the A6. I hate the rear! And what is with these black
mouldings/spoilers/side skirts not joining smoothly at all. The rear
lower bumper in particular should definitely be body colored, since the
joint is not even close to being discreet. I'll wait till I see it in
black before I judge it further.

	Sawwry about the BW. Just my opinion!
