Haven't compared the lighting but I have pre-facelift 2007 S8 that seems to have the same lightning as on the picture you posted.

Awsome!
Are you satisfied with the MMI system on the 07?
Since the 09 models costs ALOT more here in Norway Im unsure wether it´s worth it paying the extra for the 3g MMI system.
but the 07 models did came with the same extra options as the 08/09 models?

Found an article about it here:

Most noticeable updates are with multimedia and navi. Not much difference for me since I rarely use navi and if it's 2D or 3D, doesn't matter since I'll get there. With 2G you can't get media from SD card but if you get it with AMI, then external HDD or ipod works fine. I don't have AMI since I use an alternative solution from Alpine and thinking about adding one more item called Fiscube.
When it comes to all the extras and toys, then it all depends on the model year. I'm not an expert on this subject but I think there have been small updates here and there pretty much every year. I'm more than happy with my current model and haven't even found a real reason to switch over to D4 model (and I like the D3 looks little bit more than D4).

Yeah about that Sd card and HDD functionality, if I buy a 07 A8 with pretty much all the extras, how is it then if i want to use my phone as a music source playing from spotify?
how the reliability of the S8? does it need service often?

My S8 has been a dream, little expensive to keep but haven't had any real issues with it. Servicing is pretty much the same I think...

Thank´s of the help Mcdream!
you made my choice so much easier!
in your S8, can you change the color and theme of the ambient lighting?
Guessing i´m gonna save some cash and buy a 07/08 model with more gadgets and drop the 3g MMI. as you mentioned the navi is almost never used and when i need it the 2d maps will work just fine.
Btw where in Estonia do you live? used to travel there a lot before.

I live in Tallinn. Can't say I've been to Norway since I'm not much into skiing and usually prefer little bit warmer climate for vacation

I don't think it's possible to change the color of ambient light with even 3G, but it's not possible in my car. It IS possible to change the ambient light brightness tho.
