Phaeton W12 is pretty impressive for a big sedan.....the A8 W12 should be a little more fun since its a little lighter (not much).

The more I shop around the more I am starting to appreciate my A8, I went to go look at a 2006 Maser QP they wanted 80k and it has much less options than my A8 which cost me 59k, sure the QP is nicer but not 30k nicer. If my back gets better soon and I can keep my Porsche, then the A8 will do just fine as a daily driver, if I need to sell the Porsche, then I would want to buy something a bit more sportier than the A8, I know I sound crazy lately (sorry) but I was never normal and am worse now on these horrible pain meds.

Well in that case, let's all hope for a speedy back recovery for you, keep the Porsche and the A8, both are awesome!

I don't have any great advice, but I would love to have the same problem of deciding what car to buy. Because all the cars your considering are awesome and sound a lot better then a minivan or Dodge Stratus!
