I saw lots of sedans and wagons pulling trailers in Europe. I think it's normal there. I think it's just subaru's here

The Best A8 is the previous facelift S8, it looked amazing and even better in Audi Exclusive trim level.

Agreed 100% - the last S8 was special. It looked amazing with the RS4 wheels. There was a special-order Suzuka Gray one at my dealership once when I was there for service. It looked great.

I'm still saddened we didn't get the last-gen RS6 here.

Well, I can easily explain this. They aren't doing any marketing just yet. The car is disguised because they are still in the testing phase.

I totally agree with you as well. The last S8 was a phenomenal car, to say the least!

The Exclusive A8's feel sort of Bentley-ish, the interior is gorgeous.

ADV.1 Sean is an unknown quantity at this point

I really hope the end product is a lot more aggressive looking than this one. The last S8 really had road presence and you could tell it was a S8 and not a regular A8.
