Comments on: Audi A8 W12 and Audi S8 cancelled for 2010 http://www.carsuk.net/audi-a8-w12-and-audi-s8-cancelled-for-2010/ Car News, Views and Reviews Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:08:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: CarsUK http://www.carsuk.net/audi-a8-w12-and-audi-s8-cancelled-for-2010/#comment-5655 CarsUK Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:37:02 +0000 http://www.carsuk.net/?p=3877#comment-5655 LOL! But if Jason did drive the Phaeton he would be hugely impressed. When we wrote this article - just about a year ago - the word coming out from Audi was that they were considering dropping the S8 and the W12 A8 for the next generation due to the growing climate change lobby. But they had a change of heart and we updated this story in December last year to let you know that the S8 would happen, and only a short while back to say the W12 A8 was also going ahead - look at the top of this article for links to those stories.

Makes no sense, surely the market for the W12 A8 / S8 is far larger than the W12 Phaeton, given the choice between the Audi or the VW it's would be a no brainer, or maybe this is to 'persuade' potential Audi W12 A8 customers to go for the Phaeton to pump its sales figures up? More to the point, what would Jason Statham drive if there was a Transporter-4? A Phaeton? Not likely!

Totally agree with Marvin, who cares about MB or BMW? The A8L W12 is unique, no MB or BMW model atracts me more than the car used in Transporter 2 and 3. BTW the new A8 2011 is kinda downgraded for me, didn´t like its design or its panel at all. Wake up Audi! I believe that is the worst decision ever taken by Audi.

I drive 4.2diesal A8 - wonderful car. I am looking for more power and wanted new S8/W12 only to be told no. Shame as i loved the understated look of the A8. Now likely to go for Merc AMG63.
