I have my fingers crossed and am rooting for audi

I think all of the cars in this class are lookin good so far. 7, S facelift, XJ. My favourite so far is the Jag.

The S facelift was clutch. It looked so soft before.

damned teaser, more! more!!

Audi is starting to hit a nice stride with the designs. They've really figured it out.

their whole line needs to put a charge into BMW's creative centers. The more I look at these Audi's, the less I feel I want to replace my current BMW with another BMW next year.

A5 FTW? Might be...and I never thought I'd drive an Audi.

1cleanm6 · 07-21-2009, 03:19 AM

in the luxury class...

nothing beats the S

MCMLXXXIX · 07-21-2009, 03:24 AM

id take a 7 (esp 760li...!) or an A8 over a S

I think the 7 series has improved but only because we are more use to it's unusual styling, likewise the S class has improved because they have addressed some of it's failings and dressed it up with jewelery (LED lights etc), much like taking an average looking girl and giving her a makeover.

But I have to admit that I agree about the XJ, so far it's way better looking than all the others and in my opinion Audi's A8 will have to be quite radical to beat it. And radical is something that Germans don't do.

In terms of sales I must agree. The S is still king. The new gen of 7 bmw, S merc, XJ Jag tho...... I'd take the Jag. It just looks so damn good! I can't wait to see the new A8 tho

Year's_End · 07-21-2009, 11:59 AM

Looks like they're going to introduce new LED tech. Seems brighter, more consistent, less broken.

This also screams of A7 Sportback concept.

darkcloud · 07-21-2009, 12:39 PM

I want an A8 so damn bad. S8 would be slick as well. A8 w/W12 is just ballin.

I can't afford any of those though

That will be the first time it has ever happend and trust me it wont happen after the first year or two its out. The current A8 really looks nice but everything else about blows. I have sold many A8's and am amazed how slow they are compared to the other cars in the class. I also have sold and curretly sell BMWs. The 7 is light years ahead of the current A8. The A8 also also handles the worst of the 3 cars and this will not change with the new one. The only thing the current A8 has is style. After that is has nothing. Just look at how cheap the used ones are because anyone who looks at the 7series, the S class and the A8 usually end up not buying the A8 because it reveals the MANY shortcoming of the AUdi. The sterring on the current A8 is TERRIBLE and soooo light. IN fact all of the current audis steering sucks. The A5 really does not feel good at all. With the new A8 I am sure it will sell for about a year or two for the people who have to have the newest thing but then when its back to having to rest on its laurals it will then sit on the lot and rot away like the current ones do.

I would never buy S-class. You will look like a chauffeur since half of these are limos / company cars.

The new 7-series is very cool. It looks much better in person than on the pictures.

Let's see what the new A8 will look like.
