Accumulator got me, I do miss my Audi. Was a great car and was just thinking that maybe I should trade in my GS300 AWD for a S8, however, I was just at the Lexus dealer for an oil change this week and realized, Wow, these guys at Lexus treat me great. The ownership experience is the best out there. My car works well, looks good and I don't walk away from the dealer po'ed, which happened often with Audi.

Now, I will say, my GS300 doesn't have the HP of the 350. The 350 is either 300HP or just a hair over, mine is like 260 or so. I drove the 350 and it has some scoot. If I didn't want AWD, I would look at the hybrid, it has some pretty serious scoot in it. While the 528 may feel better, I doubt it is as quick as the GS350 in most real world situations, not counting track time. To my eye, the Lexus looks better than the Bangle'ized BMW.

Of course, ymmv.
