I was going to get my girlfriend a new car of her choice for Christmas, and she said she would rather have my car, and let me get whatever car I wanted. I agreed. She's getting my 2000 Lincoln LS, and I'm getting a new car. I've been looking at the new 2004 Audi A8 L, and I absolutely love it. I test drove one earlier today, and it handled like an absolute dream. The interior of this car is fucking amazing. Here are some specifications of the 2004 Audi A8 L:

I'm posting this because I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with this particular car or Audi's in general, tell me anything positive or negative, and/or simply suggest another car. If you suggest another car, please make sure it is a rather large car. I can't stand driving tiny little cars.
