With some sharper head and tail lights the A8 should spruce up its look. Pretty quick for a facelift on the A8 so I think Audi realizes they went too conservative on the latest A8.

Audi "leaked" the A8 headlights on their own.

that is just wicked. I can't wait to see them incorporate oLEDs into the matrix lights. I bet the new R8 will be the first to have those.

I hope the US laws are changed to allow them here.

I got a good chance to look at an A8 today. The rear lights are definitely too simple on the current one, these should be much better. At the front I can see why Audi shrunk the grille on the facelift, the current single frame does extend a bit too low so now that I think about it this new grille/bumper could be an improvement. The check mark leds are also too weird so the simpler shape of the new ones are better.
