good review! Something different, an honest opinion of the car and it doesnt feel like its being forced. getting better each time! keep up the good work
This is your best effort yet, JF. It helps when someone actually knows the brand. From one Audi lover to another, great job on relaying your knowledge on the car. I'd take this car over the S class or 7 series any day.
i think that this is a amazing looking car! i thought the same with the previous model and i like how they made the grill bigger it makes it look better.
Awesome review. I just like the fact that Audi is ahead of the pack with its technology. There are too many luxury car makers that are behind the times.
Why not in HD video? And the car seems sufficiently protensive so that there is no need for longer versions/wheelbases to look complete and aesthetic. Though long-wheelbase is sine qua non.
honestly if i was looking to buy a car for day to day, with performance not being a hug issue. use i think JF is who i'd pay attention to. but for being entertained and looking at how a car performs and makes you feel none better than the almight JC.
I predict that this car holds value better tan the other german rivals. It has an irresistible sense of understatement that makes it somehow better to be seen driving than an S-class.
@JDisturbed it's not necessarily biased, like i know it's not exactly the same thing but say someone didn't listen to Disturbed, you do though so if you were asked by a friend if their old music was any good after saying their new music (which is awesome) sucks, since you know what the old sound is like and you like it you could say it's extremely badass, and then I know not alot of people would go this far into detail but say then he asked you what should they have done to make their new...
@CSIS25 Way too many Buttons? It has more buttons than a 7 series or a S-Class, yes, but I see that as a positive thing since you'll always have to go deep into BMW's/Mercedes' Nav system to change something you can do with the press of a button in the A8. So I personally like the fact that it has more buttons than the others. As long as they don't put in as many buttons as in a Panamera, which looks like an airplane inside, it's OK.
Good review, it's always interesting to know what each single button and feature do - something you don't always get in other reviews. As for the car. Don't like the headlights at all, the rest looks good but not outstanding as other latest Audis. Can't imagine this style in S8 configuration, looks too boring and dull for S badge.
can you review the 911. My question is - is the 911 a good everyday car? if not what GT car is the best everyday driver ? try to be subjective we all know that you guys love 911 s
everything in this video is also on the s class mercedes and the price is very similar, what i really wanted to hear in this video is why would i want this new "leader" over an s class?
music better, if you get where I'm going with this so far, you know that you can tell him based on Disturbs older music what they should have done to make it better.
it looks like a b8 a4 with a bigger mouthm however this is not a complaint more like an observation, for sure this is the best audi better than the R8?
@mondeost2202008 "interior is a winner but thats just it"? what the..? the interior is just about the most important thing in a full size luxury sedan like this.
u can make it stiff if u really wanna have fun with it, and make it soft if u just wanna go in the city...the fuck they get this dude from "Hey guys i know what well do, drive a brilliant car through puddles and...yea drive it through lots of puddles"
Let me break it down for some of you who don't have the access to get the truth about the Auto industry right about now...Let's take this review for example on the 2011 Audi A8. "Before we get to drive this car there are a lot of things you need know"...(He got one thing right.) Audi and many other auto companies have gone from top quality build to budget building all within the past 2 to 3 years now. While others have gone the opposite ( Ford, Hyundai,Susuki,Kia)...
@eau9999 yeah you're right but take a look at the way vw behaved and is behaving during this economic crisis.vw didn't have the problems GM ford or Chrysler had or have.Volkswage, Audi,Bugatti, Lamborghini,Bentley and Porsche are benchmark brand known and respected in all the world that make a lot of profit.None of these brands had loses during the crisis.Seat and Skoda also have very good sales in europe.If vw keeps it's current status it will become nr.1 in the world by 2015 no doubt.
really great job today guys. NIce work JF!! Loved the FLDetour!
u make really good car reviews:)
awesome detailed review, it must be your love for audi's, I could even sense the passion there. Great job

GREAT REVIEW JF
Awesome Review JF.
Great review. I am loving this car.
Great Review JF ;)
THAT GRILLE IS HUGE!!!!! the front kind of makes it look like a concept going down the road
Great job JF
Good choice of music for this review
i think that this is a amazing looking car! i thought the same with the previous model and i like how they made the grill bigger it makes it look better.
Good Review, JF.
That grill is bangin!!
Great VIdeo!! Fabuloso!
The grille on that A88 makes it look like it's 10 years ahead of our time.
awesome review, really. goob job
the fact that its a wifi hotspot just blew my mind, I was deciding between this and a 750Li and now I'm gonna take this beast. I want it haha
If i want entertainment and dreams i watch the top gear review, is i want to buy a car, i'll look for the FLD reviews. Good one.
interior simply amazing
I soooo want one of these. As an ultimate family car
that grill.. wow! i love it actually
car sounds freaking awesome
A true beast. I want.
impressive on the fuel economy improvements with switching to the 8 speed auto, but damn, 8 gears...when is it not shifting¿
is that verrazano bridge in the backdrop?
Awesome review. I just like the fact that Audi is ahead of the pack with its technology. There are too many luxury car makers that are behind the times.
love it.
Amazing technology.
What does MMI stand for? Multimedia Interface?
Did E-40 design that Grill?
How does it ghost ride?
Why not in HD video? And the car seems sufficiently protensive so that there is no need for longer versions/wheelbases to look complete and aesthetic. Though long-wheelbase is sine qua non.
They need to bring the A8 TDI over here!
you forgot to go into detail about the b&w sound system =/ It looks so sweet when the speakers come out
How does it compare to the 2008 audi a8?
what will the new S8 be like?
wait so no monthly subcription to service for wifi?!?!
honestly if i was looking to buy a car for day to day, with performance not being a hug issue. use i think JF is who i'd pay attention to. but for being entertained and looking at how a car performs and makes you feel none better than the almight JC.
Where is the HD?
I think the chrome bars on the grille should be vertical. It would look better.
Does it cook for you?
what does he mean that it is a wifi hotspot? can you use youtube and internet stuff? z
are the audi grills getting bigger and bigger or is it just me?
I predict that this car holds value better tan the other german rivals. It has an irresistible sense of understatement that makes it somehow better to be seen driving than an S-class.
@JDisturbed it's not necessarily biased, like i know it's not exactly the same thing but say someone didn't listen to Disturbed, you do though so if you were asked by a friend if their old music was any good after saying their new music (which is awesome) sucks, since you know what the old sound is like and you like it you could say it's extremely badass, and then I know not alot of people would go this far into detail but say then he asked you what should they have done to make their new...
@JDisturbed ya but i hope u got my point I know that no one would really ask ur opinion and then broadcast it i was just using that as an example
@maverick223 awesome?
Didn´t know that the pre-facelift version had LED lights
@CSIS25 Way too many Buttons? It has more buttons than a 7 series or a S-Class, yes, but I see that as a positive thing since you'll always have to go deep into BMW's/Mercedes' Nav system to change something you can do with the press of a button in the A8.

Don't cars need front bumpers?
Good review, it's always interesting to know what each single button and feature do - something you don't always get in other reviews.
As for the car. Don't like the headlights at all, the rest looks good but not outstanding as other latest Audis. Can't imagine this style in S8 configuration, looks too boring and dull for S badge.
Ohh snap!! thats right under the GWB! NICE!! I like the 7 BMW. A8 its a very nice car though.
"You can make it stiff if you really want to have fun with it."
That's definitely what she said 😁
Not good as clarkson or tiff? they are different people...your a good reviewer. I enjoyed the watch.
Good job guys you really demonstrated this car's ability to drive through puddles
S8?
can you review the 911. My question is - is the 911 a good everyday car? if not what GT car is the best everyday driver ? try to be subjective we all know that you guys love 911 s
my god how pimp is that grill.
Read some comments & I have to say I liked this review, & I'm not kidding
the baq looks so like a new vw jetta
beautiful car. Wish i had it. Insurance is probably 2 damn high. I want an A4 though!!
Wifi hotspot would make this a great car for vacations
The only thing that isn't nice about this car is the licence plate that we have to put on the awesome front grille. :P
everything in this video is also on the s class mercedes and the price is very similar, what i really wanted to hear in this video is why would i want this new "leader" over an s class?
that was a rolling stop 6:30
Big Audi a4 ^^
nice
It looks way better than the 7. Just need a front plate to split the grill. European plate works much better than the American one in this aspect.
MMI touchpad is much better than that jog wheel on the prior version. Google Earth for Nav, impressive. W12 model available?
just saw the new A8 in the street. The front is SO SEXY, especially at night with the LED lights!!!
If anything it definitely looks better than the competition from Mercedes and BMW.
@Snipedout209 There's a difference between someone asking my opinion, and broadcasting it to many.
the rear looks just like the A4 but a bit stretched in width
you can make it stiff if you really want to have fun with it
music better, if you get where I'm going with this so far, you know that you can tell him based on Disturbs older music what they should have done to make it better.
audis have the best looking engine bays!
@bottomlayer True true...
At least JF is very honest!
it looks like a b8 a4 with a bigger mouthm however this is not a complaint more like an observation, for sure this is the best audi better than the R8?
@auggles thats what she said!
Jesus H. Murphy, that thing has one big grille
don't forget about the XJ...
@mondeost2202008 "interior is a winner but thats just it"? what the..? the interior is just about the most important thing in a full size luxury sedan like this.
u can make it stiff if u really wanna have fun with it, and make it soft if u just wanna go in the city...the fuck they get this dude from
"Hey guys i know what well do, drive a brilliant car through puddles and...yea drive it through lots of puddles"
that's a big ass grill!!!
It's all about the V8 TDI.
Let me break it down for some of you who don't have the access to get the truth about the Auto industry right about now...Let's take this review for example on the 2011 Audi A8.

@MrNothingButAir yep i pay $160 for my A6
Love the car but am not really liking the google feature.
Can it do my laundry too??
top gear best tv show eva!
@purpleflith ha ha ha yeah except for when it drives by you in your honda civic and your like damn.
oh boy.....wat will the s8 gonna be like.....
you can make it stiff when you want to have fun with it... thats what she said
@tunawookie only if there were people on the sidewalk
LOL 'You can make it stiff, if you wanna have some fun'
The Audi 8 appears to have traveled from the near future and got stuck in the present. I drool from the left side of my mouth when I look at it.
So what? You are not fast and not funny but instead you are yourself, thats great review i like it.
The Grill on that thing is Hideous!
@eau9999 yeah you're right but take a look at the way vw behaved and is behaving during this economic crisis.vw didn't have the problems GM ford or Chrysler had or have.Volkswage, Audi,Bugatti, Lamborghini,Bentley and Porsche are benchmark brand known and respected in all the world that make a lot of profit.None of these brands had loses during the crisis.Seat and Skoda also have very good sales in europe.If vw keeps it's current status it will become nr.1 in the world by 2015 no doubt.
i dont think its very good looking and i like audis, but when your inside, audi cabins are just amazing.
