RE: Gray market import S8?

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

Actually, those who went to MH99 could have seen an S8 that was created by
starting with an A8 and adding all the S8 pieces.  Scott Mockry had some
interesting stories about putting it together.  He kept the tiptronic
because knee problems caused him to get rid of his S4 for the A8 ... The
owner told me that there is someone else who has done this back in the great
lakes area ... don't remember where now.  

HTH!
