I need a prestige car with room for 4 with a good combintation of performance/economy got 50k to spend want to move on from 5series/e class/A6 crowd but A8/S class seem like cars my dad would drive.

I have just pursuaded my dad to get the diesel - the performance and looks are excellent, who needs the 55 AMG when you can get 0-60 in 7.0 sec with a diesel and 48mpg

factory fit leather option is black beige or grey leather i mean all beige as in carpets and steering wheel... have you ever seen a vanilla coloured steering wheel? im going to order a stanard black interior which comes with half leather and get a coach builder to fit beige/mushroom coloured leather where the cloth is............ very much like the black leather and silver speed cloth in my A3 S-Line... and merecedes charge about 4grand to do this and call it designo..you dont even know how to pronouce the fing word....... the dealer can get it done for the same price as merc charge for the standard upgrade to leather. this will in my opion give me a great looking interior...

I had the option on the CLS, 350TD, 500 or the AMG, drove them all, did not like the rear seat layout the handling ( on any) and performance of the Diesel and 500 were poor.

I have chosen the A8 SPORT 4.2 TDI 0-60 5.7 economy up to 40MPG on a run, build quality far superior than the Merc, and relablity much better,this car slaughters all but the AMG. the_finger.gif169144-ok.gif

Absolutly love it.. of all the 4 drs out there its visually the most interesting dunno how it drives but find it surprising that some see the performance of the CLS 500 as poor.. Thats a stonking engine, we are talking about the new one arn't we?..and the 350 CDI is not exactly comparable against a 4.2 lt is it.. but I guess in price it might be.

YEP we are talking about the new one.I was one of the first to drive All versions of the car and the 500 was slow and crap on the twisty stuff, did not inspire confedence at all.

Interior is not much to look at, along with the finish inside.

Outside looks great. Rear seats/legroom not up to much. try one and see, The AMG went well but did not handle the tight bends as I would expect of a £72K car. sorry. crazy.gifcoffee.gif

I think the CLS looks great 169144-ok.gif It is very colour/wheel sensitive though IMO. Black with the AMG wheels looks good, gold with standard wheels looks very bad FIREdevil.gif

Totally agree, the duck egg blue is pretty bad as well. Needs a dark colour to hide its lines and bulk and big alloys e.g. AMG's to detract from its size

You would? I think the A8 is a far less of a 6 year-old-school-boy-penned design , imho
