Picked up an S8.....
Just picked up a 2007 S8, phantom black on black with carbon fiber and Bang and Olafsen. This car has completely exceeded my expectations, a truly amazing car.
The Good: Beautiful inside and out. Tremendous handling for such a large car.
The V-10 is incredible, the exhaust note is insane. The B&O might be one of the best sound systems I have ever heard (incl. home theaters) I can't say enough about this system... The Audi MMI is easier to use than my previous BMWs IDrive.

The So-So: Initial throttle tip-in is a little sensitive/jerky......but so far thats it.

I'm really loving this car....sorry for the crappy pics, as you can see I'm no photographer...

Very, very nice. Congrats. I picked up an 09 last spring, and like you said, it has TOTALLY exceeded my expectations!!!!!!

B+O is insane. Love driving it. Am going to put the MTM's on it in the spring. Can't wait.
What other cars did you look at before you bought this one?

G55 AMG and the Cayenne Turbo, but ultimately decided on a sedan.

Always loved the S8. Understated, stealthy and yet super classy.
