Is there going to be S-line exterior package for the current A8...?

S class have AMG package for a long time, and now BMW offers M-package for 7 series..., I hope there will be S-line for A8.

And now we can wait for Audi to do a proper S-line package...

Are you talking about a stupid appearance package like the S-line products are, or an S8???

As far as I'm concerned the S-line 'line' of cars is complete BULLSHIT and they should just call it a sport package and leave the S for The S Cars.

It cheapens the S4, S5, S6, S8 line.

BMW's use of M-sport packaging is the same BS.

I had a 325is which had the M-tech suspension (aka M3 suspension) but there was not bullshit M-Lite badges on it.

Just my two cents, but an A8 is a very expensive car and throwing on an S-line badge and a different set of wheels is NOT an improvement.

Yes, I think about that bullshit! :D

In Europe, S class and now 7 series are very common with this AMG or M ''look'' whil powered with some diesel engine...

I asked will A8 get that threatment to... S8 is completly diferent animal, and I know as everybody else here, thee will be one...

The S-line is a marketing gimick pure and simple.

S-line = Go fast looks, no go fast goodies.

I have no issue with the 'better looks' and whatever goodies are included in the 'S-line Package.' But leave out the S part....call it something else....

A8s never had s-line trim, so expect no other this time...

I know, but neither 7 series was offered with ''M-package" in the past, but now it is available...

Maybe Audi will do the same with A8...
