Audi S8 – Chee's Opinion:
Come on. People who can afford a $110,000 luxury sedan don’t really intend to drive it like it should be driven – hard and fast. Oh, they like the power, the 450-horsepower V-10 engine stuck inside a light, all-aluminum body. Yes, indeed, they like that, and the 20-inch wheels. But I’m betting that they really want the sex appeal of a German dream car, the heated and gazillion-way adjustable seats as well as the bragging rights that come with one of the most bad-ass – yet respectable – cars on the road. As for me and whether or not I liked the car, well, like is too small a word. The Audi S8 is, really, the Bang & Olufsen audio system of the luxury car set.
