Reeeeealy nice looking too! This is how the 745 should have turned out. Black with tan interior. A 4.2 with twin chrome exhausts. I couldn't see if the little badge under the 4.2 said "turbo" or "quatro" though. It had a real classic look to it. Reminded me of a 740i sport or even an E34's lines. I hope Bangle has to see lots of those on his way to work!

that monster goes 0-60 in 5.4sec. V12, a little less than 400hp i believe. well over $100k

its black on black, A8L Quattro....soooooooo nice looking!

Think I'd still prefer the VW Phaeton with the W12. That's friggin sleek.

I saw the new A6 in a slight disguise out in Novi the other day (suburb of Detroit). SWEET looking ride. The grill is a little in your face but not Bangled...

VW is a parent company to Audi. You will find many similarly.

Buddy's parents got a new A8 4.2... absoFREAKINloutely gorgeous inside. The rotating dash monitor is HOT, and the gauges are PERFECT, especially at night.

I've always thought the A4, A6 and A8 were some of the best looking cars on the road. Then I got my E34 and realized that they're really quite similar in styling. Interesting to hear that so many others on the board like these Audis too.

yeah, I know. Still like it better.

I think Audi is going in the direction that BMW used to head. A lot of their cars are nipping at BMW's heals in every aesthetic and performance aspect. Only thing BMW still has that keeps it ahead is soul.

Learned this at Chicago auto show. They teamed up with Bentley to learn the art of hand building and have almost $1B, yes a B, into R & D for that car. I agree, it is one of the best looking, and in the 75-85K price range, best bang for the buck autos out there.
