    Exactly! Makes justification for the RS-7 more than reasonable, plus Avantis never did sell much beyond niche volumes in the U.S.

    I think it has a lot to do with transmission and launch control as well. The long term review of the A8 was not favorable in terms of repairs though.

    Welcome to the new age of inflation. Look at what has just happened to our brake rotor prices. Can you imagine what parts costs will look like in 8 years for the 2013 S8? My two RS6s may be the end of the road for this guy. Looks like I refigure my next purchase to a new SQ5 or even a S5 and call it good enough. Then buy a new one every 5 years or so.
