If you’re looking for a large, premium automobile that emphasizes subtle but strong styling over flamboyance, Audi’s 2016 A8 luxury sedan and S8 performance sedan should be first on your list. With its clean, powerful and efficient operation, the TDI diesel option will surprise many.
Compared to the newer Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Audi A8 for 2016 is looking a bit old. It doesn’t have the same bold presence, nor is its technological equipment as cutting-edge. Resale values for the A8 are also less than stellar.
