Just purchased 2012 Audi A8L

I know this more geared for the S series but wondered if anyone has an Audi A8. How are they enjoying it. This is our first Audi & is replacing the 2002 Acura RL.

Howaboutthat is infamous around these parts

Sharp car! I assume it rides more quietly than the Acura (biggest gripe about Acuras)? How does the handling compare?

It is a huge difference in the ride. 10 years of technology advancement. The Acura still drives very well due to only having 74,000 miles on it. Love the lines on the A8L. Now I'm thinking that I need an S8 for myself since the A8 is the wifey's car.

Great car! I love the A8L/S8. These cars are much more rare than the equivalent S Class or 7 series through my observations. They definitely bring something different to the table, and they just look so cool!

I love the A8, congrats! I'm sure that it is worlds better in every way than the Acura. OK, maybe not in maintenance...

I just ordered an A6 myself. I would have gone for the A8, or an S8, but I couldn't justify the price jump between the 6 and 8. But that's me, and I can never find a nice pre-owned 8 anywhere.
