Purchased a 2016 1LT RS, A8 this weekend, first new car. MSRP was 33,xxx haggled with 3 different salesman, kept sending them back in to bring better numbers out, manager finally came out got it for invoice (30,xxx).

I'm 22. Super car freak... I've been wanting a modern Camaro since '09 I've been on a mission ever since. Missed the entire 5th generation, I love that car even though I was never fortunate enough to have one. Fell in love with the 6th gen at FNR Los Angeles aka the last stop.

First impressions are the car is solid. Still has that fighter jet cockpit feel as the 5th gen but nicer.. V6 is plenty fast enough for me. I do not like to drive fast, however I enjoy accelerating quickly, punching it from a light or getting on it a bit after making a turn up to about 40-45 mph and just cruising. The V6 has more than enough power to get me from 0-45/50 in an enjoyable manner on the street for a daily driver (only car). Of course in an SS is where I want to be but I know I'll get there when the time is right.

The A8 is great, super smooth and is perfectly mated to to the engines power band. Only time I use the paddles is when I want to hear some exhaust noise on deceleration. By the way, non-dual mode exhaust sound is MUCH better than that of the 5th gens.

Sorry if this post is all over the place, just wanted to make some noise from SOCAL. Mainly wanted to answer any questions you guys may have so ask away I'll reply briefly...
