all the articles I read about the Audi in comparison to the BMW-7 & MB-S usually say the Audi is a bit nosier and ride a bit less refined. Never driven any of them so don't know. I think I'd rather have a W116 450 SEL 6.9 in totally restored to like new in dark blue or silver then any of the newer cars.

I posted this because once I heard Stern mention he got an Audi A8 it seemd like many younger people started showing up driving these vehicles near where I live. I had heard Stern mention he bought Robin a MB SL as a gift as well.
