I'm currently shopping for a car, and with some research and web browsing, I've tested the following cars.


BMW M5 - Not Tested> I like the power, but not the prestige! I'm going to have a baby soon. They say that it is so power, up shift will snap your neck!. So NO NO!

BMW-740iL (I think) > It is new, but with an old flavor! It is like your grandfather, you can not hate him, but you like to be around him. Makes you feel good!
The bad news, it will change soon, and with that kind of money, soon it will lose it's value.

Merc S500L> Car of the year, every one is talking about it. All of the cars that I drove were with me for at least 24hrs. With the S. only 3hr's, I knew all about it. Enough said!

Maserati - Quattroporte GT - Not tested>This was a dream car for me couple of years ago, I never though of it as an option, with the business going good. I can have a four door Ferrari in my garage. But I was SHOCKED with the interior finishing!! Too much leather, and what's up with the parking sensors! they are cantilevering from the bumpers. I was disappointed, I wish I never saw the car up close.

Audi - A8L- 4.2l> It was one of the most architectural cars, it looks much better with the new face lift, and with these huge wheels, it is blingy some how. Now, as soon I drove it, I felt home. Everything was perfectly fit. With my new business life, the phone car was working for the first time. I got the SL, and S class, both will dry your mouth... you have to shout!

So, I came to a conclusion, I want a bit of A8 + M5 + S500 AMG looks. And it came to my attention, S8. Should I get it?
I can only tell you that the A8 4.2 is one of the best cars in the world, and I have driven mine 80k km in the past one and a half years.. I myself have been looking at the S8, but the price in Norway at the moment doesn't justify it. I currently costs about 100k euros in Germany, and in norway 240k euros. In a couple of years when the prices drop, I'll get one.


GET THE S8!!! with carbon ceramic brakes and Bang & Olufsen stero system!

try it now: http://content2.mojoflix.com/0/2800/...ol-Audi-Ad.wmv
