I leased a 2004 A8 last August.
I test drove the BMW 745il.
The BMW felt more sluggish, and came with many fewer options as standard than the Audi.I am a BMW fan, having owned an M3.
I looked into the Mercedes S class, but to get the car with 4matic, i was looking at at least $75000, again with fewer standard options.
The Audi has a solid feel to it.
The handling is fantastic, including more than enough power on tap for acceleration.
I don't think anyone can outdo the Quattro system.
The MMI is very user friendly, and i can use it without having to look down at the control.
All in All i am very happy, and never get tired of being asked "what is that car you drive!"
