Difference between 2006 and 2009 Audi A8 ?
Ok, I have $100,000 to spend on a new Audi. I was wondering , is there any difference between the exterior on the 2006 compared to the new 2009 Audi A8 ?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 2 answers

Not really. There are some subtil changes like lights and stuff but its pretty much the same car. The engine may be different in the new one. Some 2006 models still had the old 4.2l V8 where the new one got the 4.2l FSI engine. The FSI is a much better choice as there is no timing belt to maintain...

If you like the car and can afford it, then yes. I love the looks and the interior on that car is among the best if not the best in the world. It is not a cheap car to own but unlike all the other cars people mentioned in their answers its one you do not see all the time. Enjoy the car.

Why should I also consider these? X

The A8 feels substantially lighter than its big-sedan rivals—likely because of its aluminum construction—and can be hustled along a tight, curvy road at higher speeds than you might think; although competing models might have more horsepower, the 2009 Audi A8 has impressive passing ability.

The interior in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class looks more modern and sophisticated than that of the Audi A8, while the BMW 7-Series and Lexus LS 460 also stand out for offering high-tech features.

Both the 7-Series and S-Class have available night-vision systems and seats, and seating comfort in both of those vehicles is about as good as in the A8.

The Lexus LS 460 has an especially conservative look and feel, along with one of the most refined and isolated interiors, for those so inclined, while the Jaguar XJ has classy, uniquely British styling and surprisingly brisk performance.
