Reality bites donnut.  Hey, unfortunately the A8 needs to compete, against the
other boats of the same 'draft'.  When BMW hits a steering accolades on that
4000lb sedan, it makes some of us think not just about the audi A8.  What
about our own machines.  And when that 4260 gets within 8lbs of 50/50, I start
looking to my 3klb Urq and wonder what happened.  

So, reality is 4000lb luxury sedans exist and are compared.  Look at the
weight of an S4?  3800+, performance or luxury?  

I'm not with you on this one.  Apples is Apples, when one is genetically
disposed to performance, the mutants better get some restructure.
