Pros

Torquey and powerful V8TT engine
Fast 7-speed DCT
Supposedly better fuel economy
Good towing capacity
Multi-link suspensions all-around

Good performance
Great comfort
Good 0.28 drag coefficient

Tremendous torque from the 60 TDI and 60 TFSI
Good 0.26 drag coefficient
60 TFSI e with low fuel consumption rating for those who don't like paying taxes

Cons

Lots of complexity yet little room for any work in the engine bay
Still nose-heavy

Uglier than before
No real difference in drivetrain from the D4 S8 except more emission-related complexities

Styling even more generic than before
No more W12
Questionable long-term reliability and repair-ability
Car with gadgets or gadgets masquerading as car?
